Remember when a gallon of gas was the price of a cheap sandwich? My mom's old grocery lists look like they're from a different planet. You hold that thin paper and it just feels like proof of something broken. The numbers stopped making sense a while ago.

It's like that with hobbies too, the simple ones never last.

Yeah, that's a solid point from @the_drew. Makes you wonder what we're actually ignoring every day. Like, do we ever stop to think about what a tree is actually doing, or do we just see it as a green thing that's there? Kind of a trip when you really sit with it. Feels like we're trained to see the world as a bunch of background props.
