Just hit 100 shows on my 'finished' list and it feels kinda empty...

I was cleaning up my streaming apps last night and saw the number. One hundred series, all watched to the end. I thought it would feel like a big win, but honestly it just made me feel a bit tired. Most of them blur together now... I can barely remember the plot of that sci-fi show I binged three months ago. The only ones that really stuck were the first few I ever got into, like watching all of 'Breaking Bad' over a single rainy week in college. Now it's just a cycle of hitting play, zoning out, and moving to the next thing on the list. Has anyone else hit a number that made you question the whole binge habit?

Feeling like a professional couch potato over here.

Ever feel like you're just collecting checkmarks instead of stories?

My 20s were full of checkmarks, grad school, first job, all that. Those boxes I ticked off built the foundation for the stories I get to have now. The checklist gave me the stability to actually go have an adventure last year. They're not separate things, one sets up the other.

Wait, you're telling me @taylorshah that you don't think those checkmarks are the stories? My grad school box was a whole saga!
