A Simple Life. W/ Added Sugar.

At times I think I need to live life simpler. Get out of debt totally, stop buying so much stuff and just learn what it's like to live a simpler life.
I imagine selling all my stuff and moving to a foreign country to live for a few years and depend on God for all my true NEEDS to be met.
It competely appeals to me to go to South America. I don't even have a preference for which country in the continent. Just put me down there, God! I've had this desire for 6 years now. And I think in another 6, it will be a reality.

Yet, tonight I stop and get groceries on the way home from work. Here I am, going down every aisle, and finding things i NEED. Finding fruits, vegetables...healthy choices....unhealthy choices... cereal snack packs.

Ahh, cereal snackpacks. I had this happy feeling overcome me as I made the decision to purchase these. The things that mom never bought. Why? Because they're way overpriced and for what -immediate options? Oh yeah. The cereal pack that lets you eat depending upon your mood. Want to be naughty? Have some lucky charms or cocoa puffs. Want to be good? Then original cheerios and shredded wheat awaits you.

As I came home, I thought about those cereals.. and other junk i bought. Why did I buy them? Because I can.. and because living alone allows me to divulge in any and everything I buy. And I never have to share. What a selfish girl I am.

Then I think about my hunger and desire to leave all this luxury and take off to live in near-poverty in a third-world country. It would definitely do me good I'm sure. Make me a much more grateful girl.
