we were given; two hands to hold,
two legs to walk, two ears to listen,
but why only one heart?
because the other was given to
someone else for us to find.
i was saying to karman how i think i'm gonna get a bubz shirt soon,
and she was saying how she's gonna buy like five more soon.
and i said that i keep telling myself, "you'll find better in hong kong!"
so i can keep myself saving and not spending recklessly.
and she just said, "well, it's not me spending, so?"
i asked if it was her boyfriend paying for everything,
and she replied, "obviously."
when i pointed out how materialistic she was,
she just said plainly, "it's nice, and i want it
and he wants to buy it for me, so why would i complain?"
i realised i was kind of a hypocrite to say that.
because when i was her age, living alone in london,
i was extremely materialistic.
but i've come to realise, that it was because i was lonely.
i bought a lot of things to fill up my room,
to give it a homely atmosphere because the
rest of the house was empty.
but if i hadn't spent those hundreds and hundreds of pounds,
i could have hundreds and hundreds for my holiday
or any other luxuries (LIKE A NEW PHONE, MUM.)
and i'll moan and try to convince my parents
for a new phone or a new laptop etc.
but i get over it because i realise
i'm not in desperate need of these things.
i'm lucky i even have a phone, or a laptop.
but my thirteen year old sister,
isn't satisfied until she has what she wants.
and if she wants the whole of bubzbeauty's store,
i'm sure her boyfriend would buy the whole damn thing.
one day, i'm going to be rich.
and buying little things like clothes
is nothing compared to ferraris.
