Relax. I kid.
Okay. I don't love my laptop that much.
But it is kinda fun to have something new. I'm not the kind of person who buys things for myself, really; I get all excited when I get second-hand shoes at the GoodWill, so this is major. But in a way it just confirms what I've always suspected. Having stuff imprisons you. I honestly never think about whether my door is locked when I go out for a little while, or at least I didn't until I bought this, the first thing I've owned that someone might conceivably want to steal.
It's a small example, but it's a confirmation all the same.
