A new iPod is not what you really need.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. Fight Club


Right now I'm packing my stuff for my trip to one beautiful holiday place. I'm so excited and happy! I packed all the things that I think I'll need for 7 day vacation and, umm...there's still some space left in the bag! My mom couldn't believe that and had to check if I'm not kidding (I told her to put something in my bag if she has not enough space in hers). She checked everything. I had absolutely everything that will be necessary. Except for the clothing - I took much less of it than my mother.
The thing is, I stopped buying clothes like a madmen recently. I oped up my eyes and realized - I don't need a new skirt, I already have four of them! If I haven't any brown t-shirts, should I buy one? Is this shirt so necessary for me? Can't I live without it? The worst part was that I have some clothes in my closet that I hadn't worn not even once. And that was the start. I started considering before buying. Is this so useful? Will I wear it? Can't I survive without it?
And so I finally realized that STUFF DOESN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY. That's so damn true that the best things in life are for free. You can't buy a baby's smile, a beautiful sunset, a rainbow, a kiss. There's no spectacular thunderstorms in shops or tears of joy in the markets. Of course there's stuff that you can't live without but you would be amazed to see how few things humans do really need to live completely happy and comfortable lifes!
Today I was walking in the mall, looking at girls who was carrying big bunches of bags with clothes and accessories inside of them and I felt happy. I felt RIGHT inside of me. I don't need this. I don't need this anymore.
Yesterday I watched at the rainbow till it disappeared. I was amazed. That colors... Umm, I guess I'm a little bit mad about rainbows right now haha.

P.S. i didn't buy anything at the mall!
