I'm a hoarder. For me, documentation has always been key, and I've kept everything from my past.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm somewhat of a hoarder. I keep everything.
I'm a hoarder.
This inclination to hoard is deeply ingrained in me because in the past, in times of scarcity, you took what you could get.
I'm a real hoarder.
I kept a notebook, a surreptitious journal in which I jotted down phrases, technical data, miscellaneous information, names, dates, places, telephone numbers, thoughts, and a collection of other data I thought was necessary or might prove helpful.
People sometimes think that I bring home all these old books because I'm addicted, that I'm no better than a hoarder with a houseful of crumbling newspapers.
I'm not at the hoarder stage, but there are two or three storage units here and there. I have things that a lot of people put a lot of heart and soul into, a lot of mental energy. I'm good at keeping those things. When it comes to pop culture, as you move through this fast lane, you wonder where it all goes and how you can hold onto it.
I think it's important to have some documentation of the past.
Ever since I was a child, I've kept boxes and drawers and pages of things that I liked. I suppose that it constitutes a journal of sorts, but it's not in a ledger or a notebook.
I'm not a hoarder, I'm a collector: if you have something you like, every time you see it, you have a little happy hit.
