Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you. And in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.
-Mildred Lisette Norman
Pickles is an indoor only kitty
she's spent many afternoons at this spot, looking out
i used to think she was plotting her escape
but we've left the door wide open and she won't step outside
perhaps she's afraid
a couple months ago i purchased makeup from sephora
a sampler of pretty nude lipglosses
then i bought more
mascaras
eyeshadow palettes
3 different types of powder
i kept going
the odd thing is
i don't wear makeup
and when i try to, i've only bought the most neutral translucent nude shades that are practically invisible on my skin
why
my retail therapy serves no external purpose. the makeup literally doesn't show
so why am i doing this?
from now until the end of the year at least, i pledge not to buy anything
no new material things for myself
(except food and toiletries like toothpaste, or unless i need to purchase scrubs or something for work)
when i think about it
i already have everything i need. a pair of jeans can last 3 or 4 years, maybe longer
i wouldn't need to get another pair until i'm 33
