SubscribeWhen I was a little kid, I only get to have new clothes, usually a shirt and pants or shorts, on Christmas. I didn’t get to have something new until then. First and foremost, my parents couldn’t afford it. There’s just too many of us and getting me something new would mean getting the rest of my siblings something new as well. That’s too costly for my dad. I didn’t mind it. Until I went to high school and found myself wishing I had more clothes to choose from.
But looking back, I realized that it made me appreciate brand new clothes more. When my sisters and I were talking about it, we compared ourselves with our brother who gets to have new clothes from time to time since there’s already four of us working and we can already afford it. My brother is meticulous when it comes to his clothes but sometimes, we think that he’d be more appreciative if he experienced what we did when we were little kids. We just noticed that kids these days get so many things even when there’s no occasion and you will see that some of them neglects to take care of their things because they know they can get brand new ones if they ask for it.
