Not weird at all—I actually feel the same. I think when we were kids, getting something new felt special because it was rare and tied to a moment (like spring coming or finally outgrowing old clothes). Now that we can buy things anytime, that “magic” just isn’t as strong anymore. It’s less about the item and more about the experience we used to attach to it. I’ve noticed I value things more when I wait or really need them, otherwise it just feels like another purchase. Even when ordering recently, I had to check the masseys customer service phone number about a delivery, and it reminded me how different shopping feels now compared to back then—more convenient, but somehow less exciting.
