Mmmm yes. Yes this exactly. Much of my tech is returning to this. I stopped buying new a few years ago and have been really trying to get some more lifespan out of things. Letting them get a bit beat up. I’ve got a flashlight that looks so cool now all the corners are starting to ding and the silver is showing through the black. Having something long enough to experience its natural weathering is so nice. Feels more like a part of me as I too naturally weather.
