Am I quietly going pro?

I am joking, of course.

But having said that, I have started noticing something lately.

I upgraded my iPhone 11 to an iPhone 16 Pro.

Then I added another drone to my collection.

A DJI Mini 5 Pro.

I also upgraded from an €80 Nespresso machine to a €1300 Jura E8 full automatic coffee machine.

Notice a pattern?

I did not at first.

But slowly, I realized I no longer automatically go for the cheaper or more basic options anymore.

Not because I want luxury for the sake of luxury.

But because I seem to value quality, experience, and long-term enjoyment more than before.

Now fingers crossed my FPV flying, cinematic skills, and videography will slowly reach professional levels too someday.
