People: good job
Me: I'm going to buy some gold with 3 month's salary
People: that's great!!
Me: I'm going to use a month's salary to buy a pair of shoes
People: (all googgly eyes and open mouths) what!!!!!! Are u craZy!!!!
And I get an instant psycho analysis:
- there must be some gap in my life I'm trying to fill
- I am buying happiness
- I am a show off
- I am replacing people with things
- blah blah blah etc etc.
WTH! Bugger it! I love shoes, bags, clothes and furniture. What's crazy about buying stuff I like NOW?
And yes, I am buying happiness. One beautiful pair of shoes can cure a terrible day instantly. I am buying confidence. Heck I have pretty feet, what's the harm in decking them up to be gorgeous. And all u short li'l men, it feels so good to stare u down from my towering 6 inch stilettos. Hah (evil laugh).
So I'm gonna keep buying shoes (and other stuff). And one day they'll declare shoes as a priceless possessions and I shall be rich!
