Gifts
Gifts, they’re a strange thing. At what point do you actually feel obligated to buy someone a gift? Is there some sort of expectation or are you trying to be nice?
I’m beginning to think the need to get a gift should indicate you shouldn’t actually give a gift. People you care about, you should routinely do nice things for them, because it’ll make them feel better about themselves or at least reaffirm you still care. But to do something for someone because it’s Boxing Day, it seems kind of cheap.
Maybe I’m being too hard on people, it’s easy to get caught up in stuff and the background of your life can get neglected. At the same time, this seems like a red flag regarding your life style.
