Am I a shopholic ? is it OCD? or is it a good old fashioned act of lonliness. I’ve fallen down countless shopping rabbit holes scrolling through eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Google Lens trying to track down the exact object I’m imagining in my head. Most of the time, after a long and exhaustive search, I find it. And when I finally hit “purchase,” there’s a quiet satisfaction, a sense of arrival. But this particular rabbit hole made me pause and really question why I do this at all. T
