I truly believe (at this point) that I make retail (RETURNABLE) purchases as an unconscious incentive to save the money I work so hard for (clearly, my savings account is an invisible entity and worth nothing to my psyche). As quickly as the money comes, it goes. And I can't talk to anyone about it without them feeling sorry for me, or getting annoyed!
I can't even write about it here (people read this).
Sometimes, I just want to talk to a close friend about my woes, so I don't have to feel like I'm lagging a whale of a cross on top my aching back - obviously, I'm not going to tell anyone my life story, but the fact that I get to start a sentence with the letter "I" excites me.
Seriously, as much as I love talking to God about my issues (and sometimes it's better than people, in fact, I enjoy animals, books, television, and children more than people - oh c'mon, children aren't people... people are old), it would be nice to talk to a friend. Then there's that part of me that doesn't like to talk about anything in my personal life. I don't even really like to talk about what I've eaten during the day...
With that thought, I think I might stick to talking with God.
