Wondering if this is common with ADHD. maybe not only physical media but just things in general. I for one am not a fan that everything is digital and nonexistent so make it a point to own media I care about on physical copies.

I remember I bought some tapes a hundred years ago from some sweet asshole (they exist) at some so and such. I used the codes for Bandcamp, and never touched those damn tapes. I swore I would try to curb any of that mindless “quaint” spending. I have, but in general I just wish we had less stuff on this planet as a whole. I love paper. So damn much. It’s my favorite thing to draw on. I make sure what I am using is explicitly used, instead of gathered. If you’re using your tape-y, tapes - then it’s working out. People used tape-y, tapes all the time back in the day. You’re not weird, you’re just a person who enjoys what they like and like I said at one point what you liked was the norm. Or actually, if you have ADHD - you are weird, cause we all are. So I take that back!
