Someone told me shopping to the women like “something else” to the men. Well, you know the word, it stinks, so I’m not saying it here…*yeewww…hold your nose!* in other words – it comes naturally. If this is the beautiful truth, then I am happy to confirm I’m not a man. I am a woman. *surprise surprise* I might’ve have my doubts, but have been proved otherwise. Today. And yesterday.
Actually, I’ve been facing this issue every bloody day recently – I’m a woman and nothing I can do about it…grrrrr…Yesterday I’ve been “forced” into it. Literally. My boss said: hey, M&S advertised one day 20% sale – why don’t you go?! And I said like: nah, I don’t really need anything…and then after a while a woman kicked in in me and off I go to the shop…and naturally *absolutely perfectly naturally, mind you* I’ve bought something. Actually I’ve bought two some things. I didn’t need neither…go figure…but it’s a S A L E and the word seems to have a hypnotising effect on women. And what do you know? Today *once again, absolutely naturally* off I went to return one of the some things I bought yesterday…duh! But wait, this is not the end of it yet…I did return the thing, yes, fine and no problem. But guess what I did after that? I went into another shop and bought something else!!!!! Amazes me just how bad the women are in controlling their natural urges…I am also surprised at how crowded the shops are these days…if this is called a credit crunch, then I don’t get it what all the people moan about?!...
So I wrote all the above and stopped…what the hell I was going to write about? Surely not about me and shopping?! But heck, I can’t remember what prompted me to even start…did I want to whinge about credit crunch? Did I intent to supply the evidence of me being a woman? Did I want to complain about my boss? Or maybe it was just “something got into my eyes” and caused that irritation from the reality of me, so I resorted into the virtuality…Actually, this is Friday and Fridays are natural for rants, uploading all the shit we have to deal with over a week…and boy, have you noticed how some weeks are just so full of it?! So excuse me for sharing mine. I seem to have no better option right now…
Well, apart from what I’ve just remembered was the reason why I went to post “something” in Dear Diary in the first place…it is something I came across while roaming endless Wild Wide Web…I liked the idea and want to give it more thinking. But for now I’ll just copy&paste and let it brew within my mind…
We all attract certain people into our life who have developed qualities opposite to the ones we are most identified with. In other words, they mirror our disowned selves, and we mirror theirs. These are often the most highly emotionally charged relationships. We either love them, hate them, or both! We feel very attracted to them, and/or very uncomfortable, judgmental, annoyed, or frustrated with them. The stronger the feelings, the more important a mirror they are for us. We have drawn them into our reality to show us something about what we need to develop in ourselves. The fact that we have such strong feelings (one way or another) toward them means that they are showing us a part of ourselves we need to acknowledge, accept, and integrate.
