I remember a friend of mine who insisted on buying a laptop that he can use for both work and for his own personal activities. His parents tried to dissuade him by saying that they got a new computer and they planned to give him the old laptop that was still running in good condition. He refused and bought the laptop that he had his eyes on for a long time. When asked why he still bought it, he said not only is it a new and fast model, it's something that I can call my own. That's something that I can both understand and relate to. That feeling to want to have something to call your own reminds me of Stanley Calrke's song "Got To Find My Own Place".
When you start acquiring things through your own means, it's a sign that you are now on your way to becoming an independent person. You get to buy what you want and do what you want through your own means. You feel that you are truly in control of your life. Pretty soon, you know what your place is in this world. When you establish that you have your own identity and you are your own person. You are finally independent.
These days it's getting harder and harder to do that. They say our economy is now getting better but only few reap the benefits. Given that kind of scenario, it's hard to find your own place in this world. Still, if you are determined, then you will eventually attain. Keep at it till you get it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
