You know, I believe in a consumerist society where people often look for less substance, especially me, actually. Because a couple of weeks ago, I decided to buy an expensive smartwatch because it was really a must-have item at the time. I spent a lot of money on this, and it was for me to look better and to appear more sophisticated. But I realize now that it was just following the latest passing trend. I invested my money in this when I could have invested in my future or my personal growth rather than just buying this, you know, useless watch. Actually, it's really good, but it's not worth the money, I think, because I was deceived by the latest trends or fashion. I bought this smartwatch to look better, to look more elegant. But I just realized that it was not worth spending a lot of money on, I think.
