the one that got away - how do you handle grief?
I just lost a bid for my dream speakers that I had been chasing for a decade. It was pretty stupid because I missed the last hour and maybe I would have won it with another $100. But maybe it's a sign, it's just a piece of hardware, that I should not be obsessed with. - "you can't always get what you want"
Did you always get the gear you thought would make you whole?
About 12 years ago or so I had a pair of reference 3A deCapo's that I loved and loved and then decided to go into floor standards and of the next 4 or 5 years just went down one unhappy experience after another. And then I got a chance to obtain another pair of reference 3A decapos about 4 years ago and have no urge to ever look back again. Well, I guess if I could afford audio notes. But I can't. |
@faustuss you are not wrong. I exaggerated when I used the word grief. My English is based on assumptions. It's not my first language. |
@phd that's exactly what happened! If only I was diligent enough to stay online in the last 10 minutes. I thought that nobody wanted it that bad. @simao it resonates with me a lot. I sold an amp, I still miss. @jafant yes, but I am weak and flawed! @jacklynn the number of times I was told to find a therapist by my wife is approaching the 1000s. |
Not a big deal, you've expanded my point of view regarding your English. Its a good thing to have cultural perspectives and I'll try to remember and be more considerate of our language differences. |
