During my callous youth, I took pleasure in winning people over, stealing hearts and running off without ever saying sorry. Nonetheless, I’m now aware that those mind games were manipulative and mean. This realisation led me to find a healthier avenue to fulfil my need for affirmation and approval from certain people.
I understand the importance of seeking validation from within myself rather than relying on others. However, that’s a topic for deeper introspection, considering how this unexpected confession is already quite awkward to share, especially since no one asked.
I’ve channeled this twisted inclination into the retail world, where the goal of the game is to acquire highly coveted items without toying with anyone’s feelings. I find amusement in this new pursuit, all the while relishing the excitement that comes with the chase.
After patiently waiting for what felt like eons, I was finally presented with the elusive Mini Kelly handbag. No emotional casualties resulted from this acquisition, but my poor bank account certainly took a hit!
