Now this is going to be a little bit different of a post then all of my other posts, and I might take it down later but I'm going to be talking about a serious first world problem. My parents wont let me buy another watch.
Yes, I know, I'm spoiled. That is not however why I'm so angry that I will turn to the internet to dispel my anger. Now this goes for a lot of teenager things, but my parents think that watch collecting is stupid to say the least. Why do you need so many watches? Why are you settling for a watch that you dont really want? Why don't you save up for that one watch?
The problem I have is a lack of respect and acknowledgment for any sort of hobby. My parent's can not conceive me spending money on an Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space, but would not blink an eye if I spent that money on literally anything else in my life. That is what ticks me off the most. The lack of interest in real passions.
People might not realize or believe in what you are doing, or that the goals that you have set for yourself are good. However that just makes the actual product so much better. When you have heard all your life that the true passions that you felt like you had to hide from your family; when you get that collection of watches that you want, you will feel so much gratitude because there was a struggle behind getting there. When I get my hands on my First Omega in Space, a watch that I have wanted since its inception, it will have this taste of victory that will be so so sweet.
