I suppose I'll talk about my idiosyncrasy of loving knick knacks. There's not really a start to it it's just always been a part of me. Yes, I am completely aware of the uselessness of knick knacks which is why they're called knick knacks and no that does not stop me from loving them. Some of my knick knacks remind me of people or places or memories or a moral and some are just decoration. I'm both a curious person who is very visual and tactical prone so knick knacks are of a huge interest to me. Whenever I am shopping with a friend or my mom the questions, "what would you use that for?' and, "why would you want that?" generally come up at some point to which the answer is always, "I wouldn't," and, "because I just do." I do not want every knick knack I see nor am i prone to hoarding tendencies. I'm very particular about them and it's either hit or miss. I either love it or I hate it. I have my kaleidoscope that I received when I was very young, my owl that was carved out of a big nut, my antique perfume bottle, my wizard of oz snow globe, and many more. I think the beauty of knick knacks is that they do nothing at all. People are too caught up in "what does it do" that they forget the beauty in doing nothing. You don't ask the Mona Lisa or the Colosseum what it does, do you? No. Because moving or preforming a trick or a task doesn't make it beautiful, it's simply beautiful. Don't dismiss knick knacks because they don't do anything, take in what they have to offer. Look at them, their colors, their shape, their size. Run your fingers over them and roll them over and over in your hands, feeling the material. Appreciate the beauty of nothing.
