Trends are fireworks. Beautiful, loud, and gone before the smoke clears.
REFLECTION
REFLECTION
Anything designed to capture attention quickly is also designed to release it quickly, because novelty is the whole mechanism. What arrives in a week departs in a week, and the sense of missing out is manufactured by the same speed that makes it exciting. That does not make the enjoyment fake, it means the enjoyment is the whole return.
Enjoy what is currently loud without building anything important on top of it. Put your slow money and your slow hours into things that were here last year. Then let the fireworks be fireworks, and stop feeling behind when they end.
Which trend did you spend money on last year?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
