10.08.25: Grocery Store Philosophy
The grocery store is humanity distilled into one awkward arena. People fighting over avocados like gladiators. Parents bribing kids with snacks. Someone blocking the aisle while deciding between oat milk and almond milk as if it’s a moral choice. It’s chaos wrapped in fluorescent lights and bad music. But it’s also strangely grounding. No matter who you are—CEO, student, backpacker—you still stand in line with a basket of things you think will make your week better. We all try to shop our way into control. And yet, half the time, we forget the one thing we went for.
