425 – Retail Therapy

saBEE, 26 Feb ’1129 Apr ’26

Experiencing the idea of retail therapy…
thinking it means:
being in a retail environment is therapeutic ie. reduces stress and contributes to one’s wellbeing…
or does it mean that spending money is therapeutic?

From the big box malls
to the traditional mall…(didn’t make it to the outlet mall)…
observing whether the retail environment is a feel-good experience
and looking for a reason to spend money…

After 3 hours,
$7 spent in big box retail,
$0 spent in mall retail…
a feel good experience? not particularly…

Grateful today for
glimpses of retail I would not ordinarily encounter,
the snapshots in my mind of retail anytown, north america,
and for the $$ that stayed in my wallet.
