I really try to take care of my material belongings, fix them, and use them as long as possible (I even follow a channel on are.na called "Move slowly and fix things") — so I've been waiting for my sandals to be repaired since November and my sneakers were ruined in the local repair service (I paid 40 euros for this)

A fragile balance between staying hopeful and idealistic and being practical and not letting other people screw you
