I Am That Person That Stains A New Outfit On The First Time Wearing It
Life is about embracing the stains.
I thought I was doing well. For the past few weeks, I have been telling my partner I feel happy and at peace, and then something happened last Saturday.
Again, for the readers who know me, I have been struggling financially for over two years now, and I have a full-time job and an Emergency Fund, but things are tight, and I still can’t afford most of the things I want. And I worry about money all the time (still).
Because of Black Friday, I finally decided to buy a jacket I wanted so badly. Well, a cheaper version of a jacket that I wanted so badly because even with a discount I can’t afford the one that I really wanted. But, I bought the copy for £35, which is not a lot of money, but it’s almost my weekly food budget.
And the jacket arrived. I was happy, but then I got afraid. What if I stain it? Omg, I need to be really careful not to stain it. And what did I do after my first time wearing it? I got it stained by accident. As soon as I got back home after wearing it safely all day, it was raining a lot. The wet door from my building somehow touched my new jacket and left a mark. It was enough for me to fall apart.
