I’ve always been a converse consumer, trading one black high top pair for the next, scoring a printed version at the outlet every few years. I recently made the purchase of a pair of sunflower yellow high tops that have utterly taken over my thoughts when getting dressed in the morning. I get dressed and think “how can i make the chucks work?”
they’ve truly become my “happy“ shoe, for when i’m already riding a high feeling or need to be influenced to smile. I just started taking ssris again and these shoes do more for my mental health than any drug. when i put them on, i‘m setting the intention of happiness, regardless of whether it exists already.
