The author reflects on an obsessive desire to purchase an expensive hairbrush, despite not using one for 25 years due to her curly hair. This emerged as a comfort mechanism, likely serving to deflect from unresolved emotions. The story presents a common pattern where indulgence in luxury or unnecessary items serves as a temporary escape from discomfort. Ultimately, it questions the core motives behind such purchases and emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying feelings instead of seeking solace in materialism.
Many readers will think I am asking the wrong question and merely need to accept that I don't need to spend money on a luxury item I won't use.
