Most prized possession
I've never really been the kind of person to have a 'prized possession'. I have the obvious things that I don't want people to touch: my phone, purse, kindle, even my games consoles, but after thinking about this I realised that there is something that I just will not lend out to anybody:

This is my film library, which is still not big enough. I'm way more reluctant to let people borrow my DVDs than my books because books can handle quite a bit of wear and tear. DVDs are a lot more fragile than that (anything in disc format is). One big long scratch on it and you might as well throw it away. Buh-bye.
I think i's been established before that I am obsessed with buying DVDs, but if I manage to get a special edition with a shit ton of extras and special features, nuh-uh, you're not taking it away from me because I don't even trust my own flesh and blood with these babies. No way no how.

DVDs are definitely more fragile than books. I have a couple in my collection, too (mostly horror, some rom-com). My most prized possession would have to be my journals. Lol. They're nothing fancy. Just different kinds of notebooks but they're invaluable to me just the same. I store them in a box with a lock.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! There's something satisfying about them being nice and orderly like that :D
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing as the first comment-DVDs are so incredibly fragile. I definitely understand your hesitance of lending them out. Spill coffee on a book? Still pretty usable. Spill coffee on DVDs? Ha. I'm not sure if I have prized possessions either...I guess I would pick my memory box, which has all sorts of stuff from my family over the years.
