I know this sounds strange. I’m 46F (married 13 years, childfree by choice if that matters). I used to listen to Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, and other emo music exclusively. It was so sad and beautiful at the same time. I would listen to the same songs over and over, analyze the lyrics, cry in my car, etc.
Anyways, I ended up buying BTS’s Dark and Wild when RM was going into the military, and it’s been a slippery slope.
I now buy TONS of albums and merch. Our entire entertainment center is just my kpop albums. Now I’m starting to get into slightly more obscure groups (TVXQ, CNBlue, B14A, for example).
I feel like my entire personality and my brain have changed. I’m happy a lot now. I’m silly, childish, and carefree. I was always a bit like that, but much more so now.
I now buy so many little cute things. Plushies on my bed, anime figurines, and blind boxes. So many blind boxes. I love them.
Luckily we have the money to sustain my habit, so no issues there. I just feel like my brain has been re-wired and it makes me so happy.
Thanks for reading.
