I am something of a hoarder. (I’m working on it…) but it’s hard! I oftentimes find myself hanging on to things for “the right time”. I have done that my whole life, with outfits, stickers, jewelry, nail polish…
I’ll save it for just the right moment! But that moment never comes. I hoarded stickers as a kid, and now I hoard vinyl stickers as an adult. (Though I have started using them more frequently… I’m getting better.) But one day I’m going to wake up and wonder what the use is because I never used my favorite things and the chance is gone. Whether I don’t need stickers anymore, or I no longer fit into the outfit or the nail polish is all dried up…
Do you have anything you hoard? I am determined to stop. Yes, it’s ok to save things for special occasions. Is it necessary to save EVERY thing for a special occasion? No. Now is the occasion. Now is the special time. This outfit. This sticker. This water bottle. This hairstyle. Use it now. Live your life. Don’t hinder yourself.
