According to Timini, he eventually realised that genuine happiness is more important than the pressure to constantly acquire expensive items and showcase them on social media.
He also reflected on his past as a perfume collector, noting that the money he spent on fragrances could have been invested more wisely, such as purchasing land.

He said, “There will always be a newer watch, a newer car. I used to be a perfume collector. I had about 150. But I realised that I could have invested the money I spent acquiring perfumes in purchasing land…
“I’m not trying to talk down on having a nice car or watch. But are you doing it for yourself or because of peer pressure? Are you genuinely happy with it? And without it, would you still be happy?

“There are times when I have been broke, but my energy is always the same because I found a way to be happy with whatever I have. For people who are watching me, I always try to let them know that there will be bad and good days. And if you dwell on the bad days and you can’t find yourself, you can’t step out or create content, that means you are living a lie. And I wonder how long you can live that lie.
