I had a small revelation earlier this year when I felt so much joy upon discovering something I was completely unaware of before and that got me thinking - there's so much stuff out there to learn about and this feeling will come back again and again and that just made me stupid happy.

It’s something to hold on to throughout this bullshit year and I'm thankful for it.

I've got a friend who's into everything he's ever been into, and it seems exhausting. He collects dozens of things, and it doesn't even look fun for him. Like, he identifies as A Fan Of Something, and so he can't let go of it ever, no matter who little he might feel connected to it.

But, y'know, it's totally fine to grow out of stuff. It doesn't mean that you've wasted your time, because you still have memories of when you got a lot out of that franchise. It doesn't mean the franchise let you down, because it's probably working for other people. It doesn't have to mean anything more than that you don't enjoy something anymore. That doesn't have to be a big deal unless you make it one.

I guess, maybe treat it like an amicable break-up? There was a point in time where you and the franchise cared a lot about each other, and had fun, but that time is over. You can both move on without it diminishing what you had.

Guess so. I love Power Rangers but I practically despise the current series.
