Action #111

Love your stuff

 
This action has been done 3,550 times which means there's 3,550 less things that have been chucked out.
 
 

New stuff comes in nice packaging. It smells good and has fancy tags. Old stuff doesn't. It's flat from being at the bottom of your bed. Or smelly from being your favourite football shirt. It's full of holes. But there's still a good few years of love let in it.

    I realised I'm really lucky!

    Lately I've looked at my life in a different perspective and have realised I'm really lucky to have the luxiories (as my citizenship teacher told me!)that i do! I mean, you don't see a little african girl walking around her village listening to her touch screen ipod, do you? I feel quite ashamed, when I know I take what I've got for granted.I know i shouldn't but we all do it, don't we? I think all you can do is realise how lucky you are to have: a mobile phone or even a pencil case! I know it sounds stupid but it's easy to take even a pencil case for granted (children in African don't even have pencils because most of them are unable to get an education!)So next time you say to your mom or dad "it's not fair!" think about a young child in Africa and if they would say that!Don't take what you've got for granted and just...love your stuff!!! 26 February 2010, 17:03

    Stuffs are parts of our body--they work well when we know themselves.

    Child at Heart

    I still have alot of the toys from my childhood and ive made the effort to enjoy them like i did back in the day. Ranging from Poke'mon stuffed toys to wooden trucks and railway sets.

    This action was a challenging one due to my nature and also due to my general use of most if not all the items ive collected over the years.

    But nontheless i have achived it :D     26 March 2010, 03:31

    Old jeans are still good!

    I just patched holes in two old pairs of jeans last night and made a third pair into shorts, much better than tossing them out, and they have more character! 21 January 2010, 23:50

    Vintage Rules!

    I have a great big soft spot for old stuff. I use things till they wear out, and then when they do I make them into something new if at all possible. And a lot of what I have is antique or hand-me-downs too. 21 January 2010, 23:48

    appreciating the things I have

    I have a lot of stuff because I am a big collector/hoarder. I value everything I own and get upset if something gets broken or lost. I am currently trying to recycle clothes I no longer wear but can't bear to part with, but haven't worked out a good method yet. 10 January 2010, 13:04

    New Sneakers?

    It's always hard for me to buy new sneakers, not because I don't like the new ones, but because I really love my old sneakers, I only change them when my mom makes me to throw them away 11 December 2009, 21:55

    My phone

    Ever since I read over the books of WAWWD, I realised how important my phone is to me and I have learnt to take better care of it and make sure that I never mistreat it. I have also decided to not change my phone for a while now. 14 November 2009, 14:25

    Repair not replace

    I love some of my clothes but they are getting old and a bit frail. But instead of replacing them I have taken to fixing them, or where I am unable to fix them I have got a local tailor to do it for me. I have re-waterproofed jackets and trousers, glued shoes and sewed holes. 06 November 2009, 11:16

    Recycling old stuff!

    Instead of going out and buying another load of new stuff (which I couldn't really afford!) after looking at this site I decided to recycle some of my old stuff that was at the back of a cupboard collecting dust. Now the hall in my house looks really nice, and I didn't have to spend any money, or throw away things that were perfectly ok. 28 October 2009, 13:30

    The way you are to me.


    One day on my lap sat ted my bear,
    "What am I to you?" he said with a stare.
    I paused for a moment to decide,
    "As much as the rain to a seed," I replied.

    One day on my lay sat Molly the dolly,
    "What am I to you?" She said. (Good golly!).
    I paused for a moment to decide,
    "Like the sun to a schoolboy," I replied.     08 June 2009, 17:46
