You've said so much not just with the words, but in the spaces in between, I had to go back and read this again. I remember hearing about the marshmallow experiment and like your take on it.

I've felt all of this for some time, and am still asking myself: what's the better alternative? I try to live minimally and carve my own path, but still fight and sometimes give in to that temptation and thought that the answer is "out there". Love this piece Victoria!

Thanks, Colleen! I appreciate the insight. It’s something I keep circling and like you, I often give in to empty temptations. Writing about it helps remind me of what I’ve forgotten.
