"You can't let the things you love become your identity." That's what I was told recently because I was sad about a band fan community I've been part of for 30 years imploding. It made me even sadder. Cause maybe they're right? Maybe I should just be normal and not obsess?
Feb 5, 2026 00:02No shame about the things I love and obsess about. Told my main marketing client yesterday that I was sporting my JP crocs and dino leggings because it made me feel good. Honestly, we bonded over dinosaurs. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Can’t me tamed! 🦖 Be You, love what you love.
Fuck normal!! None of us would be here and connected to each other if we’d been normal about a pirate show. Yes, the grief is more when you care about things a lot. But love is worth it
