Quotes to ponder:

"Shopping feels good. New things feel good. They distract us from our pain."

"When we shop without awareness, we buy things that don’t match our values, and they clutter up our homes and lives."

"True freedom comes when we stop looking to things to solve problems that only we can solve for ourselves."
