    At least there’s one huge benefit of forgetting stories so you can watch the same movie, read the same book, read the same comic pretty often.

    In exchange your life sucks in every way. lol

      Nothing like getting 75% through an audiobook I just bought and realizing at the twist that I’ve read it before lol

        At least for me it only takes till about the second or third chapter for the entire book to coming flooding back to me.

      I’m at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.

      Lately, I’ve been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don’t want to throw away the letter!

        I just wish I could fully complete a series.

        I have so many goddamn shows that I love but have never been able to complete.

        Then I end up rewatching the same thing I always do.
