I have no words...

The title of this piece is literally how I feel writing this. I'm only doing this because I resolved to post at least one new article every week. Right now I'm sleepily typing because the weather is really cold and it's making me want to snuggle up and sleep all day.

Maybe I should talk about my body mist. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know what I mean. I recently got a body mist that I refuse to use. I love its fragrance but I don't want to use it. So, what I've been doing is sniff it for a while after I take a shower, then return it. Weird, I know.

It's probably just me doing the human thing of deferring enjoyment. We mostly live our lives to "enjoy later" – living on strict budgets so we can save, hiding the prettiest dresses at the back of the wardrobe so they're safe, saving the best things for last. Not that it's not a great practice, but sometimes I find myself wondering what would happen if I died before getting to experience the enjoyment I deferred. Or worse, what if the enjoyment phase never comes because I'm so engrossed in gathering up what to enjoy later that I miss my later completely?

Maybe we should live a little more. Those savings? Your next of kin might be the one to enjoy them. That sealed product you're refusing to open? It's going to expire soon. I'm not saying stop keeping stuff for later, I'm just saying don't deprive yourself of everything you want or need just because you're trying to secure your (uncertain) future.

As for my body mist, I promise I'll use it once I have people to tempt with it because that's what I bought it for. Like I told Sophia, I got it to seduce, so I'm going to keep periodically sniffing it till the right opportunity comes.
