Like my peers, I had my weekly allowance and saved on every opportunity I could so that I could spend it on stationeries. I'm not talking about the "Hello Kitty" kind of stationeries that kids wanted to show off to friends to but just simple stationeries to get me through smoothly in my school homework back then. It was after all something that we used on a daily basis, or so I thought at that time.
Many years have since passed; I graduated elementary, high school, college and university. I did not use them on a daily basis and am now left with stationeries I am unable to part with, simply because some are new and some still hold childhood memories for me. But now my taste has expanded into designer stationeries, i.e. Mont Blanc. I appreciate the craftsmanship of their product and yearn to collect their pens. I do own a few but it wouldn't hurt to own more! :-)
These days, I take a peek into the stationery aisle in bookstores just to see any new inventions or trends that have made their way into the education and work desks. My boyfriend teases me each time we pass the stationery aisle and God forbid, I will not get anything from there and somehow I do. So it is not uncanny that I have tons of stationeries that range from pens, pencils, post-its, erasers among other things one can possibly find in the aisle.
My collection of stationeries continue to grow and the justification I give is that the right tools and materials will make a huge difference and impact of the work I present. One can conclude that my excessive indulgence of stationeries has caused me to be stationary, at least in this aisle in a bookstore.
Cheers.
