For my 30th birthday this year, my partner helped me set up a savings fund for a coat I wanted. After dishing out $2,110 for it I immediately started wearing it in the rain, in the snow, to run errands at Home Depot, to take out the trash — etc. Why would I spend so much and save so much money over months just to keep this thing in my closet??? No. Anything worth buying is worth using, and using it as it’s meant to be used. Pristine vintage jackets are lame; I want to see some wear and tear. Use the candle, let it burn and melt and get weird. Enjoy it. And then buy another. Rinse & repeat.

USING WHAT YOU HAVE
there is no perfect moment you are waiting for. burn that candle you’ve been saving for months. use those stickers you’ve been stashing. wear the shirt at the back of your closet. read the book you’ve been putting off. cherish the things you have by using them.

consumption
many may disagree with me but what i mean is : if you’re gonna buy things, use your things consume the things you choose to purchase.. i only say this as i have hoarder tendencies and i feel guilty when a candle runs out, but i have to remember; that is what it is meant for

using what you own
read all the books on your shelf before you buy a new one. listen to all your cds and records before you buy a new one. wear your shoes into the ground until you buy a new pair. burn all your candles before you buy a new one. let your lucky pen run dry before you buy a new one. let holes wear in your jeans before you buy a new pair. create oportunity with the things that are already in your possession. appreciate the moons that orbit around your day to day and give them attention. make impressions in them, write on them, bend them, savour them. and when your lost, look to these moons orbit and find yourself in the centre.
