Shoes, we need them.

They go on our feet.

In general, we have to use them most of the day, every day.

Sometimes we want new ones, especially if we like shoes, we end up buying a lot of shoes.

Another perfect example of how you build an ADHD doom pile of shoes is you go to the shoe store for one pair of shoes and you walk out with five pairs of shoes, but not the pair that you were looking for.

No, please interrupt me all the time.

I'm probably going to think about that a lot later if I remember.

Okay.

We get home with our five new pairs of shoes and we're like, oh, but I don't have room in the closet for these in like the perfect little shoe rack that I bought to get organized.

And then trying to decide which shoes I need, right?

Especially because I might have five pairs of black high heels, but each one has a different function.

Those are the boring work black heels.

these are the nicer work black heels those are the work black heels that have a heel that's a little bit too tall so i don't walk as well but sometimes that's helpful right like then you end up being like well i can't get rid of any of the shoes oh those tennis shoes have a hole in the toe but they're my favorite tennis shoes and they feel the best on my feet

And so you end up with no filter, which means all of the shoes.

And then every time you realize, like, now they don't fit in the rack.

Now they are literally falling out of the closet.

Now I'm afraid to open the closet because more things are going to, like, jump out and maybe bite me or something.

But I still can't figure out which ones I want to or need to get rid of because of that discriminative filter, right?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, that's the purse problem.
