Went for a wander and a shop, started to get tempted by expensive things, so I had a whole conversation with myself and told myself to be financially responsible and head home before the trains get too busy.

Congratulated myself for making a smart choice and made my way towards the station.

Anyway, now I'm at a rooftop bar.

I'm at a point where I won't buy things unless i need them

not even pretty or awesome things , not even if they are a super bargain

exceptions are made for special occasions

Nooooo, I'm already nearly home. Farrrrrk. I should have stuck around.

I did think of you today as I walked past one of the set ups and some tech/finance bro says "I just think it's wild that someone is paid for this art but it's just... lights." Like, DUDE.
