I was having a conversation the other day about decorating my condo. I'll have been living there for 2 years coming up this January. It's pretty close to the same state that it was in when I moved in, except a lot messier, but that's another story. I'm getting tired of it being so bare, but at the same time I don't want to just fill it with non-essential stuff. As a single guy, you really don't need a lot. But I have to admit, it's home, but it doesn't feel homey, just a place to keep my stuff.
To me, more stuff that I have, just means more to maintain. Anything new I get is purely for secondary storage or decorative purposes only. On essence, stuff that's nice to look at, that takes up space that I'll have to clean or keep organized.
My friend was saying that for him, it's super important that his place has lots of nice things. He's all about the status, so material wealth means a great deal to him. I think I've stated this in my blog previously, but everybody has their things that will make them happy.
Okay, so I guess here's the point of this post. Sure I'd love to have a place filled with nice things, but I honestly would rather have the funds for an emergency or if I'm going to spend it on myself, then a great vacation. As time is going on, I'm finding that I have to pick and choose the things that I include in my life. This is usually due to lack of two things, either time or money. This really is becoming a more difficult thing as time goes on.
I guess that's the case with everybody, and it's our choices that define who we are.
