My Secret Hoarding Habit

Hey everyone, I need to confess something that's been bothering me for a while now. Despite my graduate studies focusing on environmental sustainability and reducing waste, I've developed this strange hoarding habit of collecting useless items like pens without caps or broken electronics. I have no idea why I do it, I tell myself I'll find uses for them someday, but they just pile up in a corner of my room. It's not to the point where anyone else notices yet, but sometimes when I'm alone, I look at these piles and feel like such a hypocrite. How can someone who talks about reducing their carbon footprint on a daily basis still have so much clutter? Does anyone else out there struggle with similar things despite being environmentally conscious?
