Year of Trials and Demos: Learning to Appreciate What I Have

This year feels like it's throwing demo versions of everything possible at me, probably to make me finally appreciate what I have. It all started with playing house and kitchen. That's when you move in with your boyfriend, serve a four-course breakfast, lunch, and dinner, rejoice that he's eating, and he just says, "It's too salty." That's when you play "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC, leave that house, and chant the mantra "forget it, now it's only ready-made food and delivery. And no more guys." Then came the quarantine and zero trips. Who would have thought you could be so thrilled with Petrozavodsk? I used to fly to the Maldives with a brick for a face, and now Volzhsky is the event of the year. Oh, and home renovations. No more renovations, thanks, I've had my fill. Goodbye, 10 million; you're now sealed within these walls. If I ever buy property again, it'll be pre-renovated. There's also been a lot of experience driving big cars this year. You see, they always told me, "Your convertibles are impractical. Where will you drive with that low suspension, and how will you carry potatoes from the market?" After the last three-day test drive, I bought a new roadster at the BMW dealership. A week ago, I met famous actors on TNT, had a chat. It's like life wanted to show me: "See, appreciate your job and life. They earn the same, work 12-hour shifts, and are constantly dependent on someone. It's not like your freelancing, where you can fly to Lisbon whenever you want, or to Kenya." In short, life, I get it all now! Stop testing me; I love my life, I don't want another one 😅 What categorically doesn't suit you?
