You do not need a holiday in the mountains.
You don’t need to relax on the beach.
You need to close your eyes and retreat to the quiet and peaceful part of your mind.
Peace exists in one place, inside of yourself.
Or it doesn’t exist at all.
I wish I was “frugal” I really, truly do I just simply have zero mental opposition to spending $20 on a burger and fries from five guys. I think it’s fine if an event charges $10 to park. I don’t care if I “have something at home” if I see a little treat that I want that would make me smile I’m gonna buy it. If we’re going to be on this floating rock while we watch historic event after historic event absolutely annihilate any hope we had of a peaceful and prosperous life, I’m going to spend the random money I have on silly little things that make my days even one percentage point better. I’m not getting out of this alive and I’m not taking my bank account with me to the void.
