associative satiation is when repeating something you love makes it lose its value.
─── ⋆⋅♡⋅⋆ ───
lately, i can’t seem to hold onto things the way i used to. my favorite songs don’t hit the same anymore. it's losing its magic the more i listen to it. my favorite shirt feels boring now. even the food I used to crave isn’t exciting anymore. it’s like i’ve overexposed myself to all these things. so now i have to save it for certain times so i don't get worn out or satiated with it. (╥﹏╥)
it’s honestly kind of frustrating because i rlly don’t want to let go of these things. i want to keep the blissfulness they brought me, but the more i repeat them, the more they lose their magic. it’s like my brain gets tired of them, and i can’t force myself to feel the same way anymore.
it’s weird because i feel guilty for moving on so fast. why can’t i just enjoy the things i love forever? why does it feel like once i’ve had too much of something, it’s over? it almost feels like i'm abandoning parts of myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Finally you wrote here, I was waiting for this.I just want to tell you, it’s okay. You’re not losing the things you loved, you’re carrying them with you, even if they feel a little different now. It’s just your heart making room for new moments, new joys. You’re not broken for changing, you’re growing. Be gentle with yourself, the magic isn’t gone, it’s just settling deeper inside you, where it’ll stay safe forever.
