When I was in high school, I put a lot of my hopes and dreams into shopping. I was a teenage girl, after-all. At least, that’s what the world told me I was. So, I went along with it and did my best to be the best teenage girl I could be. According to movies, shows, and magazines, teenage girls LOVE to shop. They love to go to the mall and buy things. They love clothes and shoes and makeup. They love little trinkets and decorations. When a teenage girl is happy, she shops. When a teenage girl is sad, she shops until she’s happy again.
I Keep Buying Things, but I'm Still Unhappy
Thank you so much for sending these out, I’ve really gotten a lot out of them.
When we let them convince us to waste our time and money, worse things usually creep in.
One day, you will know this self objectification is a loosing game.
