When I was young, I would wonder why popo needed so many clothes.
Little did I know.
When I was young, my aunt told me that it's ok that I'm not pretty. Dressing up helps a bit.
That I remembered.
When I was young, I hated shopping. Buying CNY clothes in particular because my build was an awkward one. I had a build of a teenager when really, I haven't reached puberty.
So when I was older and understood what suited me, I, well, started shopping. I was already shopping at Topshop then when I had zero income. In a way, they were my only saviour for jeans because the Asian cut and even Levis just don't suit me. I've only owned one pair of Levis in my entire life, ha because I've always thought they are for the skinny girls!
So I don't know when and how I want to run my own business when I grow up and that clothes, being closest to me, was what I wanted to sell.
It took me many years to finally take the leap. Well, because we learned that popo was not gonna recover then and I thought life's too short to regret. And also because popo always say I have good taste in choosing my clothes. When I visited her, I tried to pick clothes that she would like, not to fish for compliments although that's a bonus, but to make her happy and to reassure her that I have not made the wrong choice.
Popo, I didn't get to tell you this but you have inspired and encouraged me in many ways. I hope you are still happily shopping wherever you are.
Miss you.
