#UseYourStickers today's 'sticker' was a sea salt and driftwood candle that I burned to enjoy the smell while I learned some of the backend of BackerKit.
As a perennial hoarder of stuff, this post by @laurenthemself hits me hard. I have stickers still on the sheet, pristine notebooks, and unread books, some for more than a decade already, that I'm saving for... I don't know what. It's time to use and enjoy them. #UseYourStickers https://aus.social/@laurenthemself/109602295919388081
@Redpedals @maloki I'm turning 40 in 2023 and using the sample size of the three of us I have decided that this means #UseYourStickers is relevant regardless of age!
@laurenthemself I just used exactly this metaphor when telling my spouse why we should watch the last episode of #WitcherBloodOrigin even though, having watched it, it will be over (we watched it; it was really good) #UseYourStickers

@laurenthemself OMG, I can relate sooo much. Iām collecting stickers (and never use them) since 2006-ish. I finally pulled the trigger this July and used my stickers on my laptop. Felt so liberating. #UseYourStickers
Re #useYourStickers I fully intend to make @alex stickers available in the new year.
I have a bunch of IRL stuff to get sorted in January, but hopefully after that I'll have the physical and mental space to handle getting and sending out stickers :alex_partying:
@laurenthemself I think I've found my word for 2023 #UseYourStickers š
The hoard has become quite unmanageable.
My only #NewYearResolution will be 'use your stickers', as it has been every year for a long time.
It's not just sticker-specific, but a reminder that leaving the sticker on the sheet does nothing. Choosing something to stick it on means it will bring you joy. Might that joy be impermanent? Yes, but everything has the potential to be impermanent, and what joy is there in leaving the sticker on the sheet?
Burn that nice candle you bought for the smell. Use that bath bomb. Enjoy that snack treat. #UseYourStickers.
