#mine#yadda yadda yadda i see the positives of digital stuff but physical media is just Uncomparable <3#it's not SAME#i could talk about this at length but it's just Different.#an e-book cannot compare to the memories of going to the library and getting a huge stack of books. it cannot compare to that#i love libraries. i love library books#there is just something so special about the plastic coverings (idk how you call that. diese plastik-schutzfolien. hüllen. wie auch immer)#and the bumped edges and the rough pages#i have such a nostalgia for it#EVERYTHING HERE.#cds. cassettes. love of my life#cassettes are annoying sometimes but they are SPECIAL TO ME#cds. literally no complaints. perfect. affordable. light. practical.#vinyls are really cool but i can't carry a whole record player around with me. mp3 players however#and just inside too#i can just take the cd player and plug it in somewhere else#that's harder with a record player#but this isn't about records vs cds#both are good i like both of those#my point is that i will forever prefer physical media. it's more personal. it holds more memories.#they can be traced back to all the little scratches and smudges.#from when you carried that cd with you in your bag#or from the ink on your ball point pen when you wrote down a quote from a book#idk i'm trying to come up with something poetic#that all gets lost in files and data!!#i'm gonna remember the photos that are stuck into a photo album that stands on my shelf after sticking it in there myself#i'm gonna remember my best friend's phone number after dialing it on the landline phone every week#and yes you can keep memories like that in digital form#but it just ferls different i guess#i'm repeating myself
