    Don’t believe capitalism’s empty promise of finding happiness in mindless consumerism <3

      But also stop feeling guilty because you’re underpaid and consumer goods are overpriced.

      Find joy in life where you can. Look for opportunities to share that joy with others.

        Feeling guilty for spending money sucks so much. Sure, a reusable water bottle without microplastics and whatnot is a great investment, but if I had just kept reusing plastic bottles, I could’ve saved money, and that money might’ve been useful elsewhere. I’m happy I bought the bottle, but it took me a long time to convince myself to do it.
