Until a few years back, I used to be really confused about which brand to go for. I would spend a lot of time deciding which phone to buy, which clothing brand looks better, and which product people might like or admire. Somewhere, I believed that using branded stuff would make me feel better or look better in front of others.

But over time, things changed. As I grew older, my thinking around brands and value also changed.

Now, I still use Apple products. But not because of the logo or the brand name. I use them because the build quality is great, they last for years, and they just work well. It feels more like a one-time investment that saves me trouble later.

When it comes to clothes and accessories, I’ve started preferring non-branded things—things that are comfortable to wear and still look good. I don’t care about the name tag anymore. I care more about how it feels and how long it stays good.

I guess I’ve reached a point where comfort and quality matter more than what others think. And honestly, it feels better this way.
