it's cheap - i could go for a walk - go to the gym - call my mother - clean the house - na - clicking the same 3 buttons in a different order on youtube - hoping for something new and amazing-- is "cheaper" - it's easy - & very occasionally - I win something amazing-
think this has always been true tho - mum used to buy the sunday times then read the same pages multiple times throughout the week - not sure she thought she would get something new out of them each time - it was just something cheap to do -

- davesque 4y agoFeels kinda pathetic to lay it out like this, but the one thing I wish I could do is call my mom. But she's gone.
- shrimp_emoji 4y agoThat's the last thing I wanna do, and she's alive (and calls me). D:
