“He loved possessions, not masses of them, but a select few that he did not part with. They gave a man self-respect. Not ostentation but quality, and the love that cherished the quality. Possessions reminded him that he existed, and made him enjoy his existence. It was as simple as that. And wasn't that worth something?"#
– from "The Talented Mr. Ripley” by Patricia Highsmith#
My attempt to cut down on caffeine hasn't really happened today. I didn't drink all my Monster, true. But I've had 500 ml of Pepsi Max. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day. As long as I don't have any sugar tonight, I'm golden.
Goodness, I feel impressively awful today. I can't even blame sugar, as I ate none last night. Though I can't rely on it either, as it is is only day one of cutting out sugar.
Trying to cut down on caffeine. Didn’t drink about a fifth of my Monster Energy.
