Unfortunately lock down and being furloughed for so long has done sweet nothing for my spending habits other than make them worse.

I blame this on getting back into cosplay. But we all know id be buying stupid stuff anyway.

Ignoring the fact I have one I started and never completed that I just really don't want to abandon but with burn out my brain turns to simpler things that involve only sourcing and no sewing.

I think for me, every time I've made a cosplay myself, I've never been happy with it. But every time I've bought or sourced one, I always love them the most.

Part of the reason I stopped was that I couldn't see the fun anymore. Now I'm back to seeing the fun, but cycled back to remembering the worst parts as well.

Don't know what I'm doing with this thread. I guess the point is that I have more fun cosplaying on impulse and buying them than I ever had making them myself.i

I don't want to be a big cosplayer. I want it as a little side hobby. So I guess I don't see why I'm putting myself through the same stress that turned me away from it in the first place when I could follow my silly impulse cosplays.

Not going to abandon that project. It's just going to take me a lot longer. And in the meantime I'll follow my impulses. I just wanna have fun and be the characters I love. And if that means I just source the costumes then whatever. My hobby.

Finally, on this topic. Burn out can kiss my fucking ass I have not been normal since march. Fuck.
