Show off

I came across a funny yet very true quote. I forgot to take note who said it and I don't remember the exact words used, so I'll just paraphrase it.

"So many people spend money they don't earn, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't know."

I find it funny because I can somehow relate. There's a big part of me who wants to show off constantly. And I want to show off to people who really don't matter to me. It's kind of sad. But I know I am not the only one.

So what is it with impressing other people? Is that innate? Or is that a sign of insecurity?

I sometimes find myself thinking about these things when I am stuck and cannot do what I am supposed to do, as is the case right now.

So instead of writing about perennials and such, I have become contemplative. Hmmm...Can you relate to the quote above?
