Honestly, you should be Zoe's therapist because you hit all of her issues right on the head. She focuses on how she can fix her life through materialistic possessions but not really enjoying living in the moment. Even when she does go away it's all for instagram, like her NY birthday trip. Having financial stability is great but the way she lives her life is so incredibly depressing. And it boggles my mind how much she throws away money on basic furniture and kitchenware that she can get for a fraction of the price and still have the same functionality.amity wrote:I feel like she is always trying to improve her life through purchasing stuff. She imagined the type of lifestyle she could have in the new house, so bought everything she could do it with. She set up the big kitchen because she probably excused herself not cooking because of the small kitchen in the other house. She imagined hosting christmas and events so she made sure there were plenty of entertaining areas. She imagined having kids in the near future and probably thought Alfie might cave sooner if they had a house with more room. She imagined being the pinterest mum, so she put in the dog washing house, big backyard, breakfast bench.
It just seems to me that she is trying to use her money to build the perfect life, but it isn't working. She keeps living in the future, never appreciating the present. She should take time to enjoy this time in her life when she doesn't have the responsibility associated with kids, where she and Alfie can go out on dates all the time, when she can travel without having to stress too much. I actually find it kinda sad.
The worst part is she hardly uses any of these things apart from the sofa, bed, and her bathtub. Everything in her kitchen is pretty much going to waste for example.
