They say you can’t take it with you.
Consumerism is bad.
Stuff won’t make you happy.
But…IT DOES.
I see these things in my house, around me – I literally feel joy. I have a physical reaction to certain things while shopping – usually it gets me in a little ball in my stomach. And I feel very lucky to be able to have these things. Things. Sometimes, things are good.

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping. ~Bo Derek
