The journey begins...

I am a hoarder. I have issues with throwing things away no matter how old or useless, in hope that I'll one day discover their purpose and be thankfull I held onto it for so long.
I can't help but buy useless junk from charity shops that I have no real purpose for, I just fear that one day I'll find the perfect use for an item that I failed to buy and regret it forever.

This fixation I have with collecting toot has made me begin to question the journey on which these items have been. Why were they made? Where were they made? Who did they belong to? How did they effect that persons life? And so on. This in turn has led me to go on a persuit to answer these questions and trace back the journey of an object as though you would someone's family tree or an orphans estranged parents.

I will use this blog to document my own journey and the discoveries I make on the way...
