"La costumbre es mas fuerte que el amor." - my momma
So I went out the other day shopping with my mother. We went to the new mall on the Bronx Terminal. I love it there. Went to Marshalls( great store to go to to find good stuff for cheap), copped a few things for my home and got my self a good pair of pillows that were on sale.
My best friend always complained when she slept over my house, how my pillows were not even pillows to begin with. They were already flat, with a coarse feeling to them, probably had a few stains from drooling( don't act as if you never drool, it happens) lumpy, etc. I on the other hand, thought they were great. But I listened to my bestfriend and got new pillows, because in reality it was time for new ones, I've had them for years now.
So here i am, with my new pillows and what can i say, i love them. They are truly great. They are fluffy, refined, soft, no stains on them, and even give me more support for my neck, they are good as new. But some how, i am having problems adjusting to them. And i find my self pushing my new pillows to the side while i sleep.
I actually miss my old flat pillows. I guess i was so used to them, that even when i got new better pillows, my body doesn't really care about it, but instead rejects it.
So this is what happens in life. Not only with pillows.
Sometimes is so hard to break a habit even when you know is bad for you or you know you could have something better. We see this from everyday experiences such as the lifestyle we live, which might not be good for us but we still do it because its just a habit. Also in relationships we may have, ( you're not sure if you love this person anymore, but you still together because you're so used to them being there.) etc. I am sure a lot of us can relate to this in many different ways.
My issue is wit a pillow and i guess Mami was right.
What should I do?
-get my old pillows (which i didn't get rid of, because i knew something like this would happen) or continue to try out my new pillows, and see how it might go in the long run?
no se. solo es un pensamiento... el cual no me deja dormir.

FYI La India has a song con la misma frase.
ReplyDeletePersonally I think that whether you stick with the new pillow or go back to the old ones you'll be in the same predicament all over again. Eventually you'll grow accustomed to the new ones, love them, and grow to need them to sleep. And the day they're too flat and old to sleep on you'll have the same dilema once again.
I think you should get Latex Foam pillows like your prima that never get flat and conform to you when you sleep!
