Ever since then Iโd been fond of stationeriesโfrom the useful to aesthetic onesโIโm definitely guilty of buying more than I need. I donโt know, but Iโm just constantly attracted to how cute and eye-pleasing they are. I mean, I tried many times to control that urge, but I always find ways to justify my every act of buying. The small notebooks, sticky notes, pens, and fancy paper are already piling up and accumulating dust in the corner, yet as I gazed at them, I strangely didnโt feel regret because I always assured myself that someday I could use them for some project. But when will that some day be?
Even though Iโm guilty with my whim buying, still I canโt say I didnโt feel happiness and satisfaction after I bought them. Perhaps the pleasure that I get from it stems from the unfulfilled wants I got way back my younger days. Before, I was quite frugal with my money because I was afraid that my mother would scold me, and so I just got contented with gazing at those lovely stationeries my classmates had back then. I wanted to also buy them, but I was too afraid to do so. Thatโs why when I got older my yearning for collecting those stationaries grew strong. I treasure those stationeriesโto the point where I become really careful in using them. I still even have the first sticky notes and postcard I received from our scholarship sponsors more than seven years ago. That may sound ridiculous, but thatโs how sentimental I get with those stuff.
At times, I wished I could control that urge because itโs honestly taxing to my budget. That urge just comes all of a sudden, especially when I see adorable stationeryโand speaking of adorable, I again bought some today. Itโs a sticker from a Korean surplus shop, and the moment I laid my eyes on it, I knew Iโd definitely buy it. There are a lot of temptations there; stacks of stationery such as notebooks, planners, colored papers, and notepads are thereโฆas if tempting me to spend impulsively again, yet I resisted and convinced myself not to spend for a while, not until I saw that sticker. I know Iโll totally regret it later on if I donโt buy it, so with thatโI give in again to my whim haha.
Indeed, Iโm such a slave to this unnecessary attraction, yet Iโm positive Iโm gradually improving in controlling it. Before I spend quite much on them, yet nowโthe amount I spend became more mindful. It's not a fast improvement, but yeahโฆslowly Iโll get there.
