Here we go fellas, almost new years. I wonder if anyone is gonna try to drastically limit sneaker purchases for 2025??
Tbh I don’t need anything! Not sure how low on cops I can go but I’m thinking it’ll be my lowest year in forever. I don’t really know what’s coming that I’m planning to cop. I do like buying performanceshoes and trying new tech and designs. But I have a legit backlog of hoop shoes that should keep me busy.
Actually now that I think on it, my hoop shoe cops are usually catching good sales on models that are a year’ish old. That doesn’t bother me. There’s a few Kobe protros I’ll “try” for but I never hit cuz my size is too limited.
Me again. My first 6 months were great where I only bought a handful, but I lost track more often than I wanted to in these last final 6 months. Again, this just includes the act of purchasing (doesn't matter if I returned/sold them or kept them).
Most of it unfortunately had to do with coping with a new self by dealing with anxiety (first time) in June until I overcame it a few weeks later. Then an unfortunate sequence of events starting late August: was told I couldn't renew my lease for my apartment that I really enjoyed living in, then losing my job three days later, and then a false health scare three weeks later that triggered a chain of minor health issues one after another. Of course, that brought back my anxiety, which just plunged me down to a loophole of grief, introspection, self-reflection, etc. November and December was when I just went in a full coping mode although some shoe purchases had a good intent, but it's been awful.
I started therapy in late October, because it's been just so much, but it's been extremely insightful to apply towards almost everything in my life. My hope is that I can get back on track again and stay as intentional as possible by not letting temptations and/or compulsion take over.
Maybe this should be in the Confessions thread or something and/or I'm still grieving here, but I just want to get this off my chest. Despite me taking full accountability for what happened with work (it was not a policy violation of any sort), I want to irrationally say "f*** you" to my previous manager who lost trust in me and started all of this, and for ruining the winter/holidays this year.
