Hoarding is a general term for a
behavior that leads people or animals to accumulate food or other items during
periods of scarcity.
So I thought it
was about time to let you behind the scenes to delve into some of my personal
issues, as you can see from the title I have a slight problem with hoarding. Fortunately
it’s not as bad as the people you see on the TV, where they can’t get even get
into their own bathroom. However my obsession with keeping new items in
their packaging over a duration of time, I feel needs to be nipped in the bud.
So let’s start from the beginning, I’ve always had the habit
of keeping new trainers in the box since I was a younger, I suppose you could say
it has had a knock on effect as I now do this with mostly everything I purchase.
From trainers, to clothes, to bags, to heels and so on…they all sit in their
brand new state in the corner of my room building up a mini barricade. I only
start to use the items usually a couple of months after buying them, I have no
exact explanation for this but I do myself have some theories. I believe that I
enjoy keeping things new and I also get enjoyment out of seeing multiple
shopping bags, as it fulfils my addiction to shop. When these bags slowly get
emptied I then feel the need to shop again, which of course is such a bad habit
but it’s something I want to stop! I have recently tried to resolve this
problem, I went through most of the bags and put them away properly, also to
help out with my money situation I have downloaded Depop, which is an app where
you can sell items you no longer want, its similar to both Instagram and eBay.
I hope you enjoyed my mini confession, and I also hope I will
eventually get out of this habit towards the near future.
Thanks for reading,
Kiana
