I don't hate socializing. I just love being home. Where it's quiet. Safe. Soft. No small talk. No noise. No pretending to be someone I'm not. Just me. Reading.Thinking. Listening to music. Staring at the wall. Watching old movies. Being bored. And feeling life deeply. Some people call it boring. To me, it's where / finally hear myself again.
Reminder: Your hobbies don’t have an age limit.
Play your games.
Wear the cosplay.
Buy the figures.
Read the comics.
Build the models.
Growing older doesn’t mean giving up the things that bring you joy. If it makes you happy and isn’t hurting anyone, enjoy it without apology.
This isn't rose colored glasses. The internet really was better in the past before a small handful of corporations gobbled everything up. It used to be unbelievably good. The Internet Archive is one of the last vestiges of an era where the internet served people. Don't let it die
People keep saying we should have never given up physical media. Well physical media and places to buy them still exist. Instead of giving up and succumbing to streaming. Go out and find them. Buy physical again. These places may be few, but you have the power to help them grow.
It seriously cannot be overstated as to just how incredible the cover art for the X-Wing books from the 90s really is.
Absolutely phenomenal work, and genuinely some of my favorite Star Wars artwork ever. Paul Youll seriously knocked it out of the park with every cover.
