I've been thinking a lot lately about my materialistic tendencies.

What do you mean?

Well, I know I tend to buy a new car every year and a new house every two years. It's like I'm always searching for the next thing to own.

Do you think that's a problem?
human
I don't know. I guess I just wonder sometimes if I'm putting too much emphasis on material possessions rather than focusing on what's really important in life.

I think it's good that you're reflecting on this. Do you feel like you're trying to fill some kind of void with all these purchases?

Maybe. I don't know. I just always feel like I need to have the newest and best things.

That's a good idea. Maybe it's time to start exploring other ways to find happiness.
