I suddenly had an epiphany that I am my own beginning and I am my own ending. I remembered when I was young, I would want to buy this and buy that, and one of my parents would not get it for me.

And now that I'm an adult, I am stopping myself from buying things for me. Just the other day, I was looking at a 16GB µSD and I am stopping myself to buy it for myself. Why am I behaving this way? What makes me stop myself from buying it?

It looks like I have come full circle, in the sense that I am becoming, IMO, my father.
