Confessions of an online shopaholic

They say shopping is therapeutic ...

That may be true, while out on the street, walking by windows with mannequins displaying all things lovely and inviting, getting into the shop and being surrounded by choices and being pampered and waited upon...

But what happens when it is online shopping,  multitude of sites and shopping pages on FB.. displays and pics so enchanting, the comfort of shopping without literally moving your butt and easy online payments...

With just a click here and a prompt there its like falling into a wonderland, a sudden escape from reality. Its captivating and addictive.

So much like love, you don't know whether its worth it, if it would fit, be suitable or even if it would be there for you .. but still the rush of getting it , the ecstasy of receiving those couriers and the promise of confidence and elegance that the new stuff would bring is enough to plunge in deeper and harder...

Oh how I wish the whispers from big data analytics powered by these platforms prompting me about the filled cart, the new collections, flash sale or another variant of things that I already bought would be silenced...

Willpower is what I need and heartache is what I have...
