I recently came across a study that showed that shopping online—even the act of filling your cart online, across websites—can be constructive and therapeutic. It’s a way we make sense and push the boundaries of our own selves—how we see ourselves, and how we’d like ourselves to be.
Which, if thinking about my persisting itch to shop of late, makes sense. Looking at clothing online, and virtually adopting the lightheartedness it promised into my “cart” gives me a sense of control. The weird thing is, I don’t even go through with purchasing most of these impulsive cart additions. Sometimes, the exhaustive searching and researching for the best thing is enough to soothe the late-night blues.
