11 Confessions Of A Shopaholic

The shopping addiction is real!

It all began when someone told me to stop doing so much for other people and spending all my money on everyone else. They said I need to be able to treat myself to what I want and that's okay. And that it when the addiction began.

It is hard to just walk into a clothing store and not purchase something you see that you really want and really like. And this is me on a daily basis. I can't help but purchase something I see and I like. I have an infinite number of shoes, jackets, dresses, tops, jeans, and every other article of clothing you can think of. I have clothes everywhere. In the closet, drawers, bed, bins, other people's closet, and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend's house as well.

I was never the girl who cared about what she wore or how she looked. But I guess as you get older that changes. You start to care about what other people think and how you looks and who's looking at you. I no longer care what other people think but I do like to look good, I mean, come on who doesn't! I wish I could say that it is easy to just stop shopping and buying what I like, but it is not at all. Sometimes I get scared I am going to spend my whole entire paycheck in one store.

But here are some confessions I must make as a shopaholic:

1. It is hard to control how much I spend and what I spend it on.

2. I constantly online shop and look for the best sales.

3. Shoes are just an addiction I will never get rid of and the collection will just keep on growing.

4. I will never leave the house for a night out wearing anything less than a dress and heels.

5. I can't not go into a store and not buy something.

6. My closet is always so full and I still can never find anything to wear, so what do I do? Go shopping of course.

7. Some store owners know me so well that they know my style and pick out my outfits when I walk into the store.

8. I max out my credit card once it is paid off. Just a word of advice, don't do it you'll regret it.

9. My clothes will never define me because I am always switching up styles.

10. I love to bargain shop but if I want something and its a bit pricey I will buy it anyway.

11. I will never walk out of a store with less than 2 bags.

I don't think I will ever be able to stop shopping, but when I do have to start saving money I will have to limit myself somehow.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
