Trends come in circles.

We may give it another name, or put the focus on something slightly different, but the trend always returns. Humans can’t help but repeat their own history.

This gives us a few opportunities.

It allows us to break the cycles that are causing us pain and preemptively eliminate it before it returns.

It also means that we don’t have to chase what’s popular. Instead, we can stick to what we enjoy and become masters of it… waiting for the time when the trend cycles back.

If it’s meaningful to you and worth the fight, stick with it.
