I've always been a huge clothing shopper and as soon as I get what I ordered, I don't like it anymore. I'm always trying to follow trends and a couple months later, I wonder why I bought this and that. I'm always trying to fill up a need that I don't really have.

"I'm bored - Let's check the clothing apps to see what sales they have". "I saw this girl on social media wearing this cool outfit, I don't have anything like that, I'm going to buy something similar". I'M DONE WITH ALL THIS!

I don't need anything everyone offers, it doesn't make me feel better, it doesn't make a difference in my life, my wardrobe is so full and I don't even need half of what I have.

Today I uninstalled all the clothing apps, I'm not buying more accessories either, no more shoes, sunglasses of each color, makeup or anything social media bombs me with. I DON'T NEED ANYTHING. I just started doing an extreme cleanse of the things I have in my room that are useless and I'm realizing how much of a consumer I am. I just became aware of this and I'm done! Time to change my lifestyle, time to use what I have and to say no to everything, because for real, I don't need anything from this market.

I'm feeling bad for buying so many clothes, but now I'm happy for having decided I'm done with all this and that my life will improve by making this decision. Thanks to this community for always givig good options and for supporting everyone!
