I am exiting my credit card years—the years of my late twenties: that is, 2018 to 2022, in which I acquired an impressive collection of credit cards, and have slowly begun to dismantle the collection. I think it's funny that I am doing so, because to enter into the system of credit cards is sort of like a conversion—you put faith in a new way of doing things, and are initiated into the club of people who also do things this way. You are rewarded for your good behavior with perks like airline miles and free trips to see your family or to Barcelona. These are material rewards bought by putting your faith in a system that is not real, that is not material, that is made up. It is another creative illusion of many of humanity's creative illusions.
this too shall pass
this too shall pass
