Materialism

A while ago I decided I wasn’t going to waste my time and money on keeping trendy. I had seen too many people so obsessed with whatever new gadget or thing was out that it was sadly comical. After a while of going along with this materialistic, sorrow circus I realized that the effort was rarely worth the payoff. New toys are fun but they’re expensive. And it seems no matter how much you buy there’s always going to be that next or better thing that you desire. It’s not as if I don’t want things anymore. I’ve simply done what I can to keep it from being the focus of my life. But with the death of any problem there rises at least one more to take its place. Now that material gain isn’t my focus in life, I’m not sure what is.
