Nothing in life comes easy, says- no-one – ever- with- a- trust – fund. As for the rest of us?
Between Friday night drinks, morning latte’s and mascara – the struggle is real, especially when you are lifein’ in London’s poshest postcode.
So what is it that determines where we live? And at what point do we let it start to define us? Chelsea is a postcode many aspire to have on their Christmas cards – alas, it comes with a very expensive price tag. Add the pressure to keep up with a social life glamorous enough to post on Instagram and boy, it’s exhausting. Is it worth it? Depends who you are asking.
Living somewhere you feel happy is surely key to living a happy life, whether that’s SW3 or Blackpool. Home is a feeling that hopefully brings you comfort and a sense of ‘belonging’ that many struggle to find when living somewhere without people they relate to or feel seen by. A feeling many sacrifice to strut down Kings Road and tap their card in Chelsea’s fanciest wine bars and grocery stores.
And even if you can afford to keep up with the nonsense – is the flash life a happy life even for those who don’t need to wake up and check their bank balance with baited breath. Which leads me to the crux of this little post – what makes you happier: a trust fund or a meal deal? Do play along. A meal deal is one of life’s most basic pleasures, plus it does not come with the pressure and bullsh** of a big ass bank account. Just the pure joy of choosing your favourite sarnie, crisps and a drink to be enjoyed at your desk, with a mate or on your own. You do you. And that’s the challenge really, isn’t it? To keep doing you, wherever that may be in the world. And trust fund or no trust fund – who doesn’t love a meal deal?
