I wanna live my life from a new perspective.

This totally sucks. First you make me so freaking demoralised (but I got over that already) and now you're putting me down. Great. Just great. Thanks a lot.
You come along because I love your face, and I admire your expensive tastes.
Just kidding I hate it. -rolls eyes-
It's not that I'm jealous. It's not that I'm envious. Frankly, I don't care. I don't care what you have that I don't. I don't care what you can afford that I can't. Because if there's one thing that my parents taught me well is that don't ever compare. Be grateful for what you have because everything comes from God.
Sure I'm not poor, I'm not rich either. I get by with enough to put a smile on my face every night before I go to bed and I'm grateful every morning when I wake up. That I'm still living this life. That I have a roof above my head. Doesn't matter how big or small, it's a place I call home. I don't need material things to make me happy. I don't need people to buy me things so that I can "have a taste of the rich life" because I don't want to.
Yeah I may have succumbed to peer pressure. I wanted branded stuff I never knew existed until I came to NJ. Branded stuff which aren't exactly expensive and high end but expensive enough to middle class citizens like me. Like what, three pairs of Converse, one pair of Nike, one pair of Adidas, Crumpler bag, Justin Bieber and One Direction merch, iPhone, yeah you get it. And it makes me disappointed because I wasn't brought up this way. I never wanted things. I never cared about fitting in. I never thought about being rich. I was contented with what I had.
You see, everyone wants more. Everyone wants better, branded, expensive. But do we really need those? No. So live with what you have. Don't brag because there are those out there who aren't as fortunate, wishing to have the life you lead.
I'm sick of society sometimes. That is why I rather keep to myself. Too many problems in the world that nobody cares or has time or can be bothered to fix, even if it's possible. So yeah. We're all lazybums hoping and praying for change that will never happen cause we're just lazy and rant on social media hoping to garner some attention, claiming to be "just voicing my thoughts". C'est la vie.
On a separate matter, yes hahaha not wearing pants is great.
