It’s a red flowy dress; the kind that’s perfect for summers — breazy, floral pattern, comfortable. It has a slight button down pattern in the bust area, a nice crisp collar and a belt too! I wore it twice: Once on my birthday and once for an outdoor evening hangout. The third time I wore it — just this past week, I thought to myself: This is pretty, I should wear it more often. With that, I thought through all the choices I, a self proclaimed environment conscious, climate crisis aware person, make. I don’t shop much, I don’t hoard much and yet there’s these red dresses in my closet which are perfectly fine and yet keep getting pushed further and further in as I give in to tempting ads after I’m done swiping and liking posts about the climate crisis that is our reality.
I wish I had that level of self-control in my twenties! Lack of financial control is partly how I ended up in India. But also, you should enjoy your twenties, don't put too many limits on yourself. It's a great age to make as many mistakes as possible and you'll still be fine. Moving to India ended up being the best thing that happened to me. As you get older, dive deeper into the rat race, and do more adulting, life tends to force spreadsheet budgeting upon you. #EnglishUncle
