Now I am just teasing myself
Today, I found myself in a predicament. I was teasing myself with a Longines HydroQuest featuring this absolutely stunning green sunburst dial. Seriously, it was like a siren call for my wallet! I was there, trying on the watch, feeling like a kid in a candy store. I could almost hear it whispering, โBuy me! Iโm a masterpiece!โ I tried to maintain my composure, but as I caught my reflection in that shimmering dial, all I could think was, โIf I wear you, I might just become one with the seaโdefinitely not a bad trade-off.โ And that green! It would make Kermit envious, and would be so easy to wear that perfect shade that says, โIโm classy but also down for some guacamole.โ But alas, my bank account responded with a solid โNope!โ So there I was, giving myself the most extravagant pep talk: โYou donโt need it, not just yet.โ I even if it was 22% discounted. Thatโs just means when I am ready I now have a goal to bargain to. Letโs be real, when youโre trying to convince yourself that a watch is a โnecessityโ while secretly knowing itโs the most extravagant impulse buy ever, thatโs just prime self-teasing. The watch may not have won today, but Iโll be back, Hydro Questโwatch out!
