Relationships are very complicated, especially if someone has ADHD
I love pens.
I have a lot of pens.
My wife says I hoard pens.
She says I should go through all of my pens and throw away the ones that don’t work.
I have two to do lists, the short one of five, and the long one at 24.
Testing all of my pens and throwing out those that don’t work has not yet reached the level of importance to make it onto a to do list. For example, it can’t compete with the need to pay the taxes, to clean the aquarium, to set up my new fishing rod, to do my blog for the week, to write one of my children, or to vote.
But maybe someday.
My wife finds this hard to understand.

I definitely have a hoarding issue. And the longer my life is overwhelming (by major life events), the worse it gets. I’m starting to look at my ‘stuff’ (all the clutter in my home that I accumulated) and am starting to feel like I don’t need all of it. But now? At the next step of trying to (a) find the actual space to organize stuff and (b) figure out how to not be so overwhelmed by this task. I’ll get there, I think. But it’s going to take time before the house clutter is seriously improved. lol

Am sure your followers would enjoy seeing a photo of your pen collections on your desk, on your bookshelves, on various tables around our house.😳
