PERFECT! BUT...

*sigh.

Life's a bitch aint it?



"BUT" is a 3 letter word. It's easy to use. It's ubiquitous. BUT it is not what we always want to hear.

Picture this-
U've searched high and low for this one Iconic bag that will last u till the end of time (your time on Earth, at least).
So what if it costs u like your 2 months' paycheck? It's absolutely timeless. Goes with any of your outfit. Suits your every mood. Every single thing about it is JUST RIGHT.
Mine would be the Hermes Birkin. *gasp* even the name sends shudders and gives me goosebumps. One day...
So anyway. Continue picturing. It took u months of shopping till your feet hurt, months of trying on bags in front of the mirror till you're so sick of seeing yourself already...
Not the right size, not the right colour, hate that grip, what's with the zip? Too big a pocket, awful material...
THere's always sumtin to pick on! And u're almost desperate.

At long last, one day, when u weren't in a fervent lookout for it... U passed by a shop that had this bag on display. This bag exuding such irresistible attractive forces that lured u to it...
U picked it up. "Hmm. Good hold. Not too heavy either."
U try it on. "Feels good. Not too long nor short."
U looked at ur reflection. "It's perfect!"

Needless to say, u swiped that plastic, thought for a second about 2 mths' paycheck. Then threw that thought outta ur mind becoz u dun give a damn. U've finally found the PERFECT BAG. You can't wait to prance around with it on your shoulders.

When u held it, it made u looked glamorous. It gives you the feel-good aura, like it's meant to be. It's everything U've ever wanted. BUT. Is it really the perfect bag?

Yes. Of course it is! Dun be silly! It is PERFECT... BUT I don't feel connected to it.

Maybe I'm not making sense. Alright. I'm all about connection. Even with my bags. YES. I must feel the CONNECTION! Otherwise... it's just odd.
I need to feel it. The sweet, tingly feeling each time I see it, hold it, and use it. I need to be sure it is my ICONIC BAG.

Ugh... What saddens me is that... I thought I've found my bag. Everything about it is right for me. But somehow... I don't feel connected to it...

Odd...I'm worried. I've made my purchase and I don't want a refund. I will be devastated if I have to let it go... So pray Lord I feel the connection soon or I'd have to send it away so others might have a chance at this Perfect Bag.
