Shopping can be tedious, emotionally and physically exhausting, and extremely upsetting. And yet, for me, there is some aspect that is rewarding. For me that involves seeing the artistry of what you are shopping for. Shopping for jeans sucks. But going shopping in a store where every piece is one of a kind can be exhilarating. Noticing how overpriced and poor quality something is can be distressing but finding a great deal on some thing that will last is wonderful. I see both sides of this coin.
