does anyone else feel that guilt spending money or is it just my crippling eldest daughter tendencies? 🥲

nonetheless, I’m very happy with this purchase. I’ll post the mentioned articles in my stories! 

I do want to give more context to this post. I was initially hesitant to post because I don’t love promoting overconsumption. (Social media has way too much of that.) But I deeply believe it’s a very real dream to one day buy something that cherishes yourself and represents a chapter of your life. It could be bags, watches, or a special meal. 

I grew up in a low-income, financial aid, immigrant household. I took on 2-3 part-time jobs in college at once, and was on my own after graduation. I help financially support my brothers. I’ve spent almost a decade working in tech nonstop (until this year) and it’s completely changed my life. I wish I gave myself permission to enjoy life a little bit more, so I’m slowly taking those steps now. 

If you’re reading this and feeling like this life is very far from you - trust me, you’re gonna get there. It’ll take time, but if you put your heart into it, it’s not a matter of if but when. 

rooting for you! 

love, 
your internet coworker
