I seem to be always okay with what I have and with what people do.
I observe. I try to learn from what I see and sometimes try to practice them and ignore what I think will not be applicable and practical.
It has always been that way. Even when I was young, I never get envious of my friend's new toys or dress.
I remember my mother would tell us then that we will only buy what was necessary and immediate because we need to budget our finances.
When I started working and earning my own money the same principle applied. I don't buy gadgets unless it is needed or required.
But as I crossed the 40th mark of my life existence(+sesame street ... those born in this era) I started to think things over. Suddenly I want some of those material possessions that some people have, but not the simple ones, though. Those things I think are essential like a house, a car and a stable and bigger income.
I don't know if I will be fortunate enough to achieve these things in this lifetime, who knows. Anyway, I haven't stopped dreaming, wishing and trying to work my way through in this journey called life.
