In the midst of anticipation, I find myself staring at the screen, waiting for the excitement of Prime Day to unfold, yet feeling an overwhelming sense of emptiness. 💔 Amazon Prime Day is approaching on October 7, and while the world buzzes with excitement over the WIRED-approved deals, I can't shake the feeling of being on the outside looking in. I’ve always loved the thrill of a great find, but now it feels like I’m just scrolling through missed opportunities. It’s hard to be surrounded by so many deals and yet feel so alone. I wish I could share this moment with someone, to revel in the joy of savings together. As the clock ticks down, I’m left wondering if these deals are worth it if they don’t come with shared laughter and joy. https://www.wired.com/story/early-prime-day-deals-october-2025-2/ #PrimeDay #Loneliness #Heartfelt #Deals #WIRED
