Self Reflection Sunday

Hi everyone, I hope y'all's weekend has been great so far :D

I've been thinking so much about what to talk about for these posts. I'm so nervous about posting this, but I'm going to good or bad. I'm such a deep thinker and sometimes over think things. Anyway, I've always been a bit high maintenance. I've always been drawn to expensive high end things. If you know me in real life and only about 4 friends outside of my family do, know that I don't try to be like and have what everyone else has. I told/asked my bff, "I've never thought simple have I?" I don't know what I was expecting her response to be, but she said, "No, Minnie you don't. From the coffee you drink to the shampoo you use." My sister says, I used to always take her clothes when we were younger. I told her it was because I didn't have enough clothes. You see, my mom had limited funds to get us things. She did purchase the things we wanted, but mine were expensive so I'd come out with only a few things. Where as my sister came out with a ton of things because she always thought about the price of things and how much more she could get. So, my bff laughed and kindly told me maybe that's why. That was an "aha" moment for me. Don't get me wrong not everything I own is name brand. But given a choice/option I'm always drawn to high end. My honey even told me the first time we went out he could tell I was a bit high maintenance. He said I had a "Sex in the City" vibe, whatever that means. I am getting better, I think this is because I haven't been working and have to watch every penny. And, because of this, I find myself putting things back and getting the less expensive brand. Truth be told, I don't like doing this because I want what I want. I feel that I've always worked for everything I have and never depend/expect anyone to provide these things for me, so I'm entitled. I also think if God blessed me with the ability to be able to have these things I shouldn't be embarrassed. I hope I don't come across as this uppity snobby person because I'm not. What do you all think? Please be nice :D

Have a great day!

  3. Sometimes, you get what you paid for! I prefer the finer things in life as well although I do keep tabs on how much money I'm spending. I figured I'm working my butt off so I might as well treat myself out now and then. :) I also treat out my family and friends when I can so I don't think I'm doing any harm to anyone! I think you're a wonderful person, Minnie! If you're paying for something expensive, it's because you earned it.
