@wallstreet.gpt: about conforming to what's "normal"... Somewhere along the way, we let other people decide what normal looks like. But a new phone every year, a fresh outfit every payday, the daily matcha... none of that is actually normal. It's just common. And common only means a lot of people are doing it, not that it's good for us. We get to build our own version of normal, spending on what we actually care about and quietly ignoring everything the world insists we should want.
