Walking into Target is always a pleasing moment. You have the strong aroma of fresh popcorn as soon as you step foot in the door. You get greeted by the nice dollar section with an abundance of cute things that you know you absolutely need. You start browsing it and tell yourself you totally need that cute jar, absolutely adorable stationary, or the little starter pots to grow something like thyme or tomatoes.
Then comes the next best part: you completely forget what you went in there for. You lose your train of thought because you're so distracted by the to-die-for clothes and the sales. Yes, I will buy two t-shirts for $20; I need new colors in my life anyway. Oh, a new romper or dress? Of course, it'll look so cute on and even in my closet. As you move around the store, you decide you want to be a part of that #fitlife because they have the cute activewear and you just have to have it.
As you keep walking you also realize that in a few months, you might have a friend that is going to have a baby or your friends that just got married are starting to plan for one, so you better prepare and look at those wittle baby outfits and fall in love and buy a couple.
Going through the entertainment section and suddenly you become this big book-ie and want to buy all the newly released or best sellers or that movie you know you'll just add to your collection and only watch a few times.
Toys? I don't want to grow up. Let's go relive my childhood and look at the toys and games I wish I never would have sold at that garage sale back in the day. I can have fun while I'm here, why not?
Oh my.... now I'm never making it home because look at all the room decor, the candles, and oh my, I need that table in my room, too. I think I'd like a new comforter while I'm at it. I might as well get some new towels while I'm over here, too; they're so fluffy.
Alright, I'm pretty positive I'm going to become a master chef and get all of these kitchen utensils as well and look at that baking pan, I could make a sweet cake with that.
Cards.... I think I have something coming up I could use a few for. They're so funny. I'm just going to keep them for when the right moment comes and make my friends laugh. Look at the cute bows I can put on that box of baby clothes I will one day give to someone.
Holy hell, look at the makeup, the nail polish, that new curling wand I'm pretty sure I've been wanting, hair accessories and the freakin cute makeup bags.... I. Need. All. Of. It. Now.
As you approach checkout, you gaze in your cart at all the things you have and get excited to show everything off. Swipes card, I'll definitely just check my bank account later. Loading up the car and getting ready to leave is when you remember you went in for toilet paper and came out with about 15 other things you didn't really need to get.
Well thank you Target, I think you do it to us on purpose. It's most likely why you guys are doing so well and making that money. Round of applause to you and RIP to my bank account.
