Things on my mind

2:24, splurge time.
I spend way too much money because I talk myself into needing it. I no longer "want" it, I need it. Today was actually an ironic situation that made me laugh after my purchase, inspiring me to mention it in my blog today. I bought a money tracker. It is a little pocket book with a pad of paper for me to keep track of my spending and it has little files for me to separate receipts and file money for different things in my life. I just found this particular situation very humorous.
I wish I could say my money splurges were small and rare, but I would be lying to you. Luckily, I have a work ethic that can support this lifestyle. Despite that though I still live a life of guilt and buyers remorse. When will I recover from my disease? Probably never. Oh well.

Next, I would like to touch on the topic that has been haunting my life for the past few weeks, well months actually.
Leaving home and venturing into the real world. I have slowly been gathering my things together in boxes, which due to a lack of anything better, are 24 packs of Miller Light. It'll do. I have always known I was not a hoarder, but now it is really just hitting me big. I don't feel remorse for throwing away my childhood memories, but I feel remorse for not feeling remorse. It's strange, I know. I wish I had more attachment to my things, but it is very easy for me to just throw stuff away. My sister and I are very different in this. She still has things from when we were infants.... I admit that there are things I hold on to. I have a box for those things, but mostly I chunk everything. In regards to the leaving, if any of you few souls that read this know a couple of things that you would recommend me getting for college that isn't that typical thing I will think of and get there and be like... Damn, I need this... Comment and let me know. BIG HELP.

Apryl Can Talk, what a true heading.

  1. It is true.. i have never understood how you so easily toss things aside.

    but then the best things in life arent things at all.
