sometimes I get tired of wanting everything - I dream of a time when I won't be such a consumerist. Sometimes I wish I lived in a place where no one even has a car must less namebrand clothes. What would it be like to be able to focus on the important things in life like learning and exploring instead of worrying about being able to buy my daughters the things they need to "fit" in or going to the circus even though they have been every year almost since they were 1? To just enjoy each other and be? I remember when I first read of anti-consumerism and how much it intrigued me. I doubt many people here where I live have even heard of it LOL. Sometimes I think I should move somewhere more progressive - do I really want my daughters growing up in this conservative backwoods place? Wouldn't it be nice to associate with people who get me instead of people that I put on a facade for as ms normal?
