It's really easy to fall into the mistaken belief that buying stuff will make life better. I'd rather save for the future than fill my already crowded apartment with more stuff I don't need. I want more beautiful, glorious things, but I've been doing pretty well at reminding myself that this sort of desire is a trap.
Over the last couple of days, though, I have succumbed to my grosser urges. I bought two new skirts. Two cardigans. Corduroy pants. Seven books. I also picked up a new, heavier, camping stove, because my old lightweight stove is just too hard to get started.
All this senseless consumerism has filled me with a strange euphoria.
