Evolution is comprised of so much "unlearning", isn't it? I feel like that part took me decades. Much of what society teaches us is to control us or keep us in a certain role that's useful and advantageous to those who control society.

I started becoming conscious of the quality of things I was buying when I was about your age. It makes life so much easier and you really start to realize how the disposable culture negatively impacts your life. Life becomes much more vibrant when you own things that bring you joy.
