I spent time today trying to enjoy the Summer of Love Fair (SOL) and the thing that drew me there: the promise of many new and exclusive items. (The picture above is the best I could get -- you get to see things the way I did.) I love to shop and support content creators, so I am always game for a fair, expo, showcase, etc.
But, I was SOL because the SOL was also a mental health awareness event. Boo. I don't need my awareness raised. I just want to buy some pretty things in the game I play as a enjoyable diversion from real life.
I had to keep diverting my eyes and not reading awareness building signs. Each time I was slipped an informational note card, I threw it to the ground and ran in the opposite direction. Can't a girl just buy a dress and not have it come with a side of sadness?
ETA:The fair itself is really good - with a huge variety of really nice items.
