No presents

It is probably self-centered of me to think that Cindy was actually thinking about me when she wrote this, huh? But she was at least thinking about people who feel caught, like I do, in the present trap.

I want to have the courage she does; just toss out the expectations of present-giving completely. Get rid of it.

I however find I can only take a baby step in that direction: buy less but do it more thoughtfully.

I imagine following Cindy. Part of me wants to...

And in my mind's eye I see Roland looking at me like I am insane.
