Renting stuff is a great option these days.Cherish memories that you create with other human beings rather than things.My favorite part of the book: “Our things are like roommates, except we pay their rent”.There is always a very clear line between the things you need and the things you want.Don’t let your things define who you are. You are defined by your character, not your things. ![]()

In her first year, she obsesses over her chosen target, young Jack Patrick, on whom she ruminates in the most illustrative fashion.
