Prompt: Have you ever bought something because you felt sorry for it but secretly wanted it?
***
Probably... though it probably isn't a secret. I'm easy to read. Very few things are a secret with me.
I have a habit of placing emotional attachment on inanimate objects. This doesn't lead me to buy things because I feel sorry for it, although I will admit to buying the 'full set' because I don't want the others to feel left out, or because it's the last one....; but in all honesty, this is just my excuse for buying more sh!t that I don't need.
It does frequently lead to me hanging on to things for far too long.
I have the habit of finding things that many others would find ugly or twisted appealing, such as clothes, artwork, or pieces of furniture. I like the weird and quirky. Somethings are just so ugly that they are cute. But I can see the beauty in them. I think most people on WDC are the same, I think it's an author's trait - to see beyond the obvious.
My husband will often look at me and say, "You want to buy it, don't you." - "Yes... yes my love, I will be buying the weird and wonderful thing."
I love TKMaxx - especially at Halloween. A lot of the stuff there is seconds, with something not quite right with it. I like to can the broken things and make new things out of it. Could that me classed as buying something because I felt sorry for it? Maybe.
I also hate buying things on their own - I have to buy them in twos or threes. Threes is my preference. Clusters look good in threes, or fives - never fours. I can live with twos to balance stuff out. |
