My little sister and I have talked about how we do this, we call it “mourning in advance.” We both deal with it by avoiding doing things we really want to because we fear the end.

A silly example I have is that I was a huge Series of Unfortunate Events fan as a kid. I was HYPED for the Netflix series. And I’ve still never watched it because I don’t want to be in a position where I finish it.

I was also a big fan of the books as a kid! And can attest that the Netflix series is amazing, Lemony was very involved in it and even answers a few questions from the books.

I need an asmr channel that is just Lemony Snicket (Patrick Warburton) talking to me about absolutely anything he wants. He can read me the seven day weather forecast and I will slumber with the peace of babessssss.
