Below is the story of how Pinterest helped me overcome my indecisiveness and eventually help me to make an important decision.
On top of being a lady, I'm also a Virgo, which makes me more indecisive than the next. The true depth of my indecisiveness came to light when I moved out of my room into my sister's old and larger room. Being an individual of the "creative type", I had to redo the room-start from scratch- and rebuild the perfect room.
I was left with a blank canvas. Which is ok if you know what direction you want to go in, in terms of design. My problem is that being extremely indecisive coupled with a blank canvas and millions of options is a combination to drive me crazy.
I'd been "pinning" (which can become addictive) for a few weeks then already. So, I began to browse the decor section to see what options were out there. Some time after that I decided to go and look at what I'd collected and try as best I could to come to a decision... On paint... at least. I opened the page, went to my "For the home" board, which contained all the decor I had pinned.
While waiting for the page to load I checked my phone and answered some messages- all the time ignoring the screen. As I looked up from my phone and saw the screen with all the pictures loaded, I got a bit of a shock. But in a good way like when you bite into a banana cupcake and the centre is actually peanut butter!
What I mean to say is that the screen in front of me showed me a consistent colour scheme for decor. Mostly dark painted walls with bright white skirting and furniture. Thanks to Pinterest I got a chance to catch a glimpse of what was going on in my mind-laid out in pin board form on the screen.
I credit Pinterest for helping me overcome this seemingly overwhelming problem of indecisiveness. After this epiphany I felt that I had gone into a therapist's office off loaded my problem and have that therapist help me introspect to get the answers I wanted.
Not only that but if you're ever having a bad day Pinterest can fix that too- go to the pets or humour section or even the inspirational quotes section.

Hoping I haven't sounded like Pinterest stalker and more like an enthusiast... Give it a shot and see what you think.
