like, i’ll convince myself that it’s okay to buy this thing because i really, really need it! but, then, another thing will come along, and i’ll again manage to convince myself that it’s an absolute necessity, but it’ll definitely be the final purchase… then, there’s a third thing, and i know i told myself the previous thing would be the last, but this is also a necessary purchase, so this will have to be the last one instead. i’m absolutely not buying more things, tho! buuuuuuuuuut, this thing would also make my life so, so much better that i’m basically losing money if i don’t purchase it! and so on… 💀 like, i just randomly seem to completely lose all my impulse control. it was literally right there two weeks ago, functioning as it should… but now it’s just literally nowhere to be found 😭
