I have deleted hundreds of emails and text messages in the past week exhorting me to Spend! Buy! Save! Donate!
To be honest, I love shiny things as much as any crow, but I'm done with the false urgency of commerce.
These not-so-subtle messages embedded in all these communications is that w are not enough. That we need to fill our emptiness with stuff. That we are judged on our acquisitions.
I guess our society has always had this lurking, but it feels like it's ramped up to eleven this year.
Fuck that noise.
We are wonderful for who we are. (Thank you, Mr. Rogers).
So share your weird and wild selves.
We are the gift.
