Money doesn't save from loneliness

Today I checked in the one type of person I despite the most. 

Our check-in form is quite simple, it only requires a few minutes of our guests time... Please give us our address, your phone number, your email address, the newspaper you would like to read in the morning and a signature. Of course, whoever wants too can gives us information about their profession, where they work and what they do...

The woman that checked in today, the one that I despite so much, asked me if "Wealthy" is a profession... she put out a bunch of dollar bills, spilled them out on the table and started counting them and then she asked me if I think she would be able to spend it all in one day.

But that was not enough, she told me she needed a drink, because her private helicopter flight was too stressful and then she showed me her hundred different pairs of earrings, one by one.

After despiting her, I realised something... this woman might be bragging about the fortune she owns, but the only reason she was describing to me every little pathetic detail of her "oh-so-perfect-life" is because she was alone. 

She flies from London to Paris with her private jet to shop, alone. She goes into the store and buys things she doesn't need, alone. 

No one believes in the saying "Money doesn't buy happiness". Let's be honest, we all think that our lives will be so much easier if we just had the money. And I thought the same. I thought that when my boyfriend broke me up, if I could just buy these pair of Jimmy Choos that I always wanted, or that Gucci Bag I was dying to get... 

But in the end, you can only make your own happiness. That is just the way it is. No bag, no pair of shoes could make me fill total again after I've gotten my heart broken.

I know what I am talking about. Moving every couple of months because of work and studies means that I am alone a lot. And what do I do, when my boyfriend is not answering the phone, and the time difference keeps me from calling my best friend I go shopping, to fill the emptiness inside me. My closet just keeps on getting fuller, and the emptiness keeps on getting bigger...

Money can't buy you happiness, it's true, we should reall start realising that...

and most of all, you have to learn, and so do I, that being alone, doesn't mean being lonely.
