Late-night thoughts: designer couches, tailored suits, the finer things. Not because they're flashy, but because they represent choice—your choice. Everyone peddles this narrative about ditching materialism, keeping it minimal, blending into the crowd. But here's the thing: ambition needs fuel. The desire for quality, for excellence, for *more*—that's not shallow. That's hunger. They'd rather see you in fast fashion, mass-produced everything, content with the baseline. Safe. Predictable. Forgettable. The real move? Stop apologizing for wanting the best. Go for what actually speaks to you. Premium isn't arrogance—it's self-respect.

Well said, don't apologize for your pursuits; that's confidence.

That's really well said. I dislike that kind of moral blackmail preaching.
