the eleventh commandment

"my god is a god who wants me to have things. he wants me to bling!...the god i serve says, 'mary, you need to be the hottest thing this year, and i'm gonna make sure you're doing that.' my god is the bomb!"

- mary j. blige, us weekly

i don't even believe (the christian version) of god exists, yet this is now my new reasoning for buying things without guilt. if i want to buy an article of clothing that is unreasonably expensive, i will simply tell myself that god wants me to have them.

really, it's for the greater good of mankind.
