i would like to officially
withdraw my statement
two days ago which goes like:
“because
it nevertheless feels
good to be poor
because whenever
i thought of buying something
i was reminded of how poor i am
and i can’t even afford it
given the critical limit
in my daily transaction account
and habit forming
is a funny thing
once you are used to it
it will stay with you
they say it’s a 21 day circle
but now i somehow
don’t have any urge
to buy anything
nothing at all”
was casually scrolling FB
and i came across this post
by Sole What and
i was really determined to get this
like not now, but as soon as
there’s some promotion on the website
then i can’t really find
it on the website though
and i made a routine check
if there’s any pair of
Gel Lyte III on sale
no luck as well
then i saw Mario X Vans
was on sale but
that was not something
i would wear for real
it’s more of a collectible
suddenly remember that
the competitor of “Sole What”
named “Cross Over”
wait a minute
i have not checked out their site
not even once
i assume they have one
and indeed i happened to
bump into Gel Lyte III
at that unbelievably low price
with my size available
damn!!!
my annual quota for sneakers is
2 pairs but wait..
i got 4 pairs last year
2 online 2 offline
this was unintentional though
felt it’s a bit too early
to finish off the quota
the year just started not too long ago
what if i bumped into nicer pairs
later down the road??
let me think about it
and if i still feel like buying
tomorrow morning
then i will proceed to then
