in the alt continuity where i didn't quit my job at the end of 2022 maybe i would be rocking an eye-wateringly expensive m1 macbook air by now. but i'm not because that would've cost more than twice as much as all the music gear i've bought in my entire musician arc combined?

and you know, maybe i'm lucky that i'm not in that continuity, because i don't know how i'd face myself if i lost such a horrifically expensive object one day. an object that never should be so expensive. something that my ownership of in the first place just symbolises folly
