What are something you immediately took for granted and were surprised about?

posted 3 months ago

I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.

I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn’t think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.

Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really “feeling” anything.

Yep, a “cost of living” raise is not a “raise”. I’m just making the same amount in today’s dollars.
