Some of what I have I could easily do without, and several of the things I don’t have appear to me as central to living the way I’d like to live.
This quote hit harder than I thought it would. I have so many material things that I don’t need at all. And when I think about it long enough, I am disappointed that I bought these things instead of saving the money and really digging into the real issue. Which is that I was unhappy and wanted instant gratification. The hardest part to swallow is that it has been a repeated mistake. Only noticed after the fact. Will it happen again. The answer is probably.
