Help, we’re under attack!
Hyper-consumerism in the age of social mediaWalking out of the store, $120 poorer, felt right. I was content with my purchase. The next day, I did not feel as good about it. On the third day I felt an overwhelming amount of guilt over the money I had spent. I felt cheated, vulnerable. This familiar feeling was followed by a period of self reflection. “Why did I spend that?” “Was it worth it?” Of course not, it never is. I couldn’t help but feel angry that I let it beat me again.Carofine Marotta3 min read
