Wow! Omigod!Is this my real home?
After being constantly ridiculed for my obsession with stationery, my long term partner decided to round up all the pens and notebooks and journals i had accumulated over the years. (Being a hoarder I never throw stuff away and to me, any medium that serves to catch my imagination on paper, is sacred. )
Half an hour later he emerged from the bedrooms, clutching at reams of paper largely unspoilt.
“What can you possibly need all these notebooks for?!”
he exclaimed. The puzzled look and half smile that lingered on his face showed his amusement confusion and disbelief.
He just didn’t get it, still doesn’t. He’s a minimalist guy. Only buys what he needs. One at a time. Never hoards things. Throws them out when he’s done. Has no emotional attatchment to ‘things’, instead saving all his affection for ‘real people’.
