Even as a little girl, my grandma used to say for me - here is a girl with expensive tastes.
And I have to admit I was always a little fussy and choosy when it came to certain things . . . which could easily have been most of the things, but then when is it easy to recall our own follies. Yet, that was then and as a kid it is really hard to put or recognize a price tag on most things anyway. Mayb I just went for the ones that displayed a much refined taste, and hence were pricier in a world of adults dealing with dimes and dollars . . . paise and rupee oh yes!!!
I don’t have any concrete example to support that anyway. Nor am I going to ask my grandma to recall and quote one either.
As an adult though, it is not a very good trait to have "ruins of" attached to. Oh! yes, it is very much in ruins . . . life does sober down most whacky desires.
But what I call unfair is the fact that even basic and simple things - and not the materialistic ones really - sometimes seem so unattainable . . .
Maybe in a different universe, in a different currency, in a different sensibility, there is a price attached to them too, and I happen to put my hand only on the ones which may befit a lucky queen.
