Number one, the United States thinks you're doing shit about shit.
Baby, you ain't never done shit but nothing but shit for a minute.
You never done anything but shit for a minute because...
the shopping and then turns it into a shopping thing but i'm like genuinely like i always say that nobody does consumerism quite like japan in my experience i haven't been like everywhere around the world but like from the places i've been nowhere does consumerism like japan and it's just funny because i live in like apparently what the capitalist capital like we supposed to be like work for your and then you can have like maybe
baby yeah you go to japan girl and it's like the produce really sickening the produce is sickening i was telling the girls like i went during the i went during like strawberry season and like if you think you've ever had a strawberry i'm gonna tell you right now you ain't never had a strawberry data unless unless you have the privilege of like eating it from the farm you know i'm saying like tended from the farm and not going through like driscoll yeah like harry's
literally like the produce is just the produce is fresher the shopping is sickening fierce like the department stores like literally be like 10 stories tall it's like so as a girl who likes to go to the mall and like blackout it's just like what the hell we gonna do now but I will say that there is something because you know I grew up going to Japan which I'm like so grateful for and like because of that though
Even the difference, because I know we keep, well, I keep talking about the frontal cortex and how it genuinely like changes the chemistry of your brain and like everybody said it would and like I didn't believe anyone and like now I'm here and I'm like, whoa.
The frontal cortex of last time I went to Japan, I probably bought like 50% of the stuff that I bought I never wore.
And it was just because like I went to the store and I'd be like, oh my God, I've never seen that.
This time, I genuinely felt like I was walking around with like a monocle and a clipboard.
It was fucked up.
Like I was feeling my age.
Like I was walking around like, and if I can name five outfits this would go with right now, then I'll buy.
Well, I hate that in the terms of like the whimsy of just going and being like a young hoe and like just buying everything, I love.
But I do love it in the sense of like, it is showing the growth in like my frontal cortex and like, wow, okay.
It's like, it's just cute.
I was definitely gagged because I used to run around with a different... Even just two years ago, again, I guess you really do come in 25, 26, because even two years ago, I was buying things that it was like, girl, you don't even have pants to match.
You're just buying it because it's like the ooh-ah-ah sensation, which there's something to that too.
