Both Rebecca and I like to
shop but Rebecca takes it to the extreme. A quote both Rebecca and I can both
relate to is, “Every time I add something to my pile, I feel a little whoosh of
pleasure, like a firework going off. And for a moment, every thing’s all right.
But then, gradually, the light and sparkles disappear and I’m left with cold
blackness again.” (Page 210). When I buy items I like or have been saving up
for I do feel a “firework” and get excited just like Rebecca. I also enjoy buying
clothes to put into my closet but, one thing very different from the two of us,
is she likes to spend money just for the sake of buying something new. I love
to shop but I am very careful with my money. I try to save up for the items I
would like to get and when I do buy something I still have money left. Similar
to Rebecca, when she buys something it is equivalent to the best thing ever but
after a while she gets bored of it and doesn’t really enjoy the item anymore. I
can relate to that way of thinking when it comes to clothes. Maybe it is worn
too much (that would never happen to Becky as she never wears anything twice),
gets a hole in it or as months pass, it’s not in style anymore and a new fad take
its place and I have to save my money again so I can purchase something new.
