The Joy of Sameness

Our favourite Thai restaurant closed two weeks ago. We tried another one, and it was fine, though we’ll keep looking because it was like eating B- vegetarian Pad Thai after several decades of A+ vegetarian Pad Thai. It’s hard to be happy with B- Pad Thai when you know an A+ version existed.

Of course, Poppin stopped production on the planner, and TIGI stopped making my hair gel (though they replaced it with a product that feels identical). The last straw was the guinea pig’s Vitamin C is no longer sold.

I like sameness. I know some people like change and always want the best new product, but if I find something that works, I never want to update it. I just want the same thing again and again. Sometimes, I feel like the world is designed for people who like to go broad vs. people who like to go deep.
