The lack of windows and natural light makes me sad =/

I work at a children's clothing store and it makes me so mad when a little boy puts a headband on or a hair bow and shows his parent, and that parent says "no, take that off, that's for girls." My brother is transgender and it makes me really sad when children grow up conflicted, because what they like is not what they "should" like.

In my opinion, everyone has their own unique story to tell. Who are we to tell them that its uninteresting?

This will be my first Christmas living with my boyfriend and his parents, but I already know that Christmas for them is an expensive affair. Hundreds of dollars spent on everyone, even me. I come from a frugal family, and I like frugal. I like to do homemade gifts and the fact that my boyfriend's family is so consumer-centric makes me anxious about what I should do for them. The amount of money they spend is astounding, even my boyfriend doesn't ever seem impressed with the thoughtful little gifts I get him (or at least I think they are) because he is so desensitized from receiving many many gifts.

I love the idea of need, want, wear, read! I will probably do that with my children, if I ever have any.
