Shopping for winter boots has proven to be roughly as difficult as the search for the holy grail. All I am asking for is a pair of affordable, well-made, warm boots that don't look embarrassingly hideous - or outrageously furry. Seriously, some of these things are so hideously coated in faux fur that you really couldn't wear them anywhere else outside of a snow storm where visibility was so obscured they were invisible. I am trying to find transition boots, you know? Boots I can bring into the real world. Unfortunately, if it is not an Ugg boot, it is a fake Ugg boot, and if it is not that, then it has a six inch heel and a toe so pointy it could shame the spike on a turn of the century German war helmet. At this point I might as well give up and saw off my feet. At least then they won't be cold. Shoe shopping should not leave you with such a sense of hopelessness.
I found a pair of boots that I love, but they are so expensive. The company is all about sustainability, the materials are either recycled or organic.... But you have to pah for all that and it just is so depressing. I can't help feeling guilty. She is willing to buy them for me, but gah. I have been trained into such a hardcore bargin shopper that I just can't do it without guilt. The nagging voice keeps reminding me what else I need and how far all that money could go. But I like what the company stands for, so what do I do?
All this money stuff makes me so depressed. I already have to spend so much money on school, and then there is the money for medication. My skincare regimine cannot even be spoken of in terms of expense, but is the only one that works and my only other option is really horrible acne and the scars that follow after. The worst part of that is that as much as I would love to pretend that image isn't an issue outside of college, it is. So I'm stuck. Everything adds up and I'm so tired of it being on my parents' dime. I can't wait to be completely independent and watch my parents save some money or use what they've been spending on me on themselves. I'd like to be able to take my mom out shopping for once. I need certain things, but I'm dirt broke thanks to Luther. I really hope that I am able to get this job at Epic systems or somewhere else like it. Just something that pays well enough for me to be able to save some money while I pay off some loans. Then maybe I'll have some semblance of financial independence. I've had enough of feeling like a drain on my parents bank account.
I just have all these dreams of being able to buy people things rather than having to bank on so eone helping me out.
Sorry this post has been so morose... I promise there will be a happier one on the way.
