Me and My Never-Ending Wishlist (Online)

An Incomplete Love Story

I think there’s something magical about adding things to an online wishlist. For people who like window shopping, it becomes so convenient to stay away from the judgemental glares from the store employees.
I mean , you can clearly see it in their eyes, that they know you are only there to 'look' at everything.
Well, my relationship with my wishlist started innocently enough. It was probably about 10 years ago when my heart skipped a bit faster, upon seeing a pair of steeletoes heels - inside a showroom. My wishlist was still an infant at that time.
Even though I knew that I would never be able to walk or probably not even be able to stand wearing those, yet my heart would always take me towards that unattainable piece of pair.

And it didn't just end there. Then there were books that I knew I would never read. Even there were fancy-gadgets that I kept liking from time to time and wished to buy them , right from first sight.
But like all great love stories, it didn’t stay simple for long.

The Wishlist That Grew Legs

Before I knew it, my wishlist had a life of its own. It gradually grew it's legs, arms, and probably a few internal organs, because it’s now a fully-fledged monster.

Of course, it got more place to grow inside the personal space of 'online' shopping apps.

Every time I scroll through it, I wonder how on earth I thought I needed a portable watermelon slicer or an dish washing device( which probably noone has heard of before).
Yet, there they are, sitting proudly in my list like I’m planning for some bizarre future where I’m a watermelon- dishwasher loving owner.
