I really like this comic. I spent close to ten years as a superfan of a band. I saw them all across the US and Canada and even went to Europe and Australia. But about a year ago I found my enthusiasm had waned for a variety of reasons. When I look back, it feels a bit odd. I knew there were some amazing times (my friends and I show up in the band's DVD), but I feel little attachment to that scene now.

This comic does a good job of summarizing how I feel. That time wasn't wasted, it was spent becoming an expert in something. Now I've moved on to the next thing (hiking and camping).
