This past week has been so great! My birthday was absolutely wonderful and I loved being able to spend Thanksgiving with my two families-- Seth's and mine of course! However, I came to a huge realization the day of my birthday. There wasn't anything with a price tag-- except maybe a Starbucks coffee-- that really made me happy. I know what you're thinking, wow is she really that shallow? To be completely honest, I have always been a little very materialistic.
Since I was a kid, I always found happiness in nice things, but when I got a check from the savings bond my grandparents made for me, that all changed. I wanted to find some sort of splurge for myself, but when I looked at all the nice things they just weren't what I wanted. Maybe it was simply the shock of being able to afford something really nice, however, I really don't think that's why I refused to buy something nice.
Having been in my relationship with Seth and falling head over heels for him and his family, I now know money can't buy happiness-- love is true happiness and I am so happy to say I have found it and hopefully for a very long time!
