this morning #1783.
this morning, i was poring over what you wrote yesterday. specifically, the part about your parents. it got me thinking about mine. specifically, why they refuse to improve upon their lot in life. they just stay safely settled in their middle-of-the-road, middle-class existence despite always having solid, decent-paying jobs. they could’ve bought a bigger home. traveled the world. ate fancier food. treated themselves whenever they felt like it. instead, dad’s worn the same type of cheap sneakers for decades. mom despises superfluous spending. it’s sad. i don’t want to end up like that. if i’m lucky enough to have a ton of money, you can bet your bottom dollar that i’ll put that money to good use. i mean…wouldn’t you?
