When people would ask me what I’m addicted to, I always said ‘music.’ And while they’d laugh it off like it’s a cliché, I’m actually a complete shopaholic when it comes to records. I’d literally buy 10 albums a week for years, so when I went to that Virgin Records and it said ‘going out of business, ’ my heart stopped. Blake Lewis
About This Quote

This is a good example of how we can become so focused on a single thing in our lives, we lose track of everything else. I thought I was addicted to music, but in reality I was addicted to records and albums. A record store closing in one city and opening up in another can cause the store owner to become fixated on his new location and forget about the original. As a result, he will spend more money on new records than he did in the first store, and then when that store closes he goes into a phase where he just can’t function without buying new records. He may not be aware of this behavior at first, but once he starts shopping elsewhere he will inevitably start to notice how many records he buys every week and what kind of money he is spending.
