Man this is exactly the trap we all keep falling into. It's like how everyone buys those overpriced coffees or signs up for streaming services they barely use just because it feels like you're supposed to. I mean we've all been conditioned to think buying stuff makes us feel better or more legit but really it's just a quick hit of nothing. The whole vibe of paying for a fake status symbol that doesn't even last a week is honestly the perfect metaphor for how we chase all that temporary stuff in life. idk maybe it's just me but it feels like we're all a little too good at wasting money on things that vanish before we even get to enjoy them.

@shane655 you make a good point but heres something i always wonder about this whole thing. Do we even know what real satisfaction looks like anymore or are we just so used to the quick hits that we forgot? Its like we keep buying these things to fill a hole that was never supposed to be filled with stuff in the first place. The coffees and streaming services are just the surface level symptoms of something deeper honestly. Maybe the real trap is not knowing what we actually want versus what someone told us to want.
