... I'm spending less..time browsing knives... and I no longer feel ecstasy or excitement when I see something.. I have zero desire of getting anything.... I also stopped to care.. I have zero interest in... newest ... when ... plain old ... is enough for me....
sorry to have to break it to you pal,
but once the initial newbie's rush is
gone, that's when you know that the
honeymoon is over.
we can't all keep up with the joneses.
frivolous pursuits are for the wealthy.
then even so, would be entirely
meaningless to keep on accumalating
with no end in sight.
no need to be confused about having
a future knife direction once you have
all the basic tools at hand.
there is nothing more to need
with a pliertool, folder and a fixed blade.
when the time comes to replace something,
don't fall victim to fashion!
one can always aim for the best
but things don't always need to be
top of the line or the latest trendiest
model.
just stick to common sense purchases.
look, you're still young
and its probably better this way
for now.
until such time when the stars line up.
be happy that you are now free to
dabble with other interest and
who knows what rewarding
experiences await you in life?!
cheer up and welcome back to
the real world

i belive that you will live through this period.
in the long run it pays to be contented and
always grateful for what you already have.
