I’m still tormented by my white bathing suit impulse buy. Perhaps this burden of guilt is a good thing. It may make me think twice before a future impulse buy. If guilt brings me closer to minimalism, so be it. Whatever works.
In the meantime, I worry that my white bathing suit will be extremely attractive to sharks. Not that I will be in shark territory any time soon. If I am lucky I will be swimming in an Ontario lake where my biggest worry would be a pike, but I may as well get neurotic about a future ocean adventure. I remember reading on a shark attack website ( best to be prepared) that anything sparkly or high contrast in water can be mistaken for shiny gills or tasty underbellies. I may look like a giant porpoise floating in the water and be irresistible to a passing hungry shark. Now that would be the ultimate lesson to not impulse buy.
