day 47 of pretending my search history doesn’t define me. so, i found out my favorite celebrity changed their hair color for the tenth time, and naturally, i went down the rabbit hole. at the same time, saw the news about spotify prices going up, and honestly, i didn’t even know if i’d still be able to afford their albums now or if i should just prepare for a lifetime of browsing thrift stores for their old merch. just casually discussing the emotional investment of having my crush’s aesthetic on repeat, while possibly going bankrupt on my subscription. i pretended the person next to me didn’t see my frantic searches on “how to meet my obsessions in a friendly way.” now we act like we don’t know each other every time we ride the train. #SpotifyPrices #ParasocialCrisis
