Comments for Secret #2681

I relentlessly and ruthlessly kept stealing new looking pencils and pens.

If it was on the floor, I picked it.
If it was resting on a desk, I took it.
If it was in a pencil-case, I scavenged for it.
In a cupboard? I made sure to grab it, and any others lurking around.

Hell, I've helped the victims look for them too. For days.

I've amassed this huge collection of pen(cil)s that I've used for a bit and threw once it was done looking shiny and new. After I chewed them until they break; After gutting, mixing, and matching to satisfy my need to tinker; I just threw them in an old box, and sent them on their way to a landfill.

Almost everyone around me was a victim to this. Pen(cil)s weren't the only victim either.. but definitely my first and biggest. This behaviour leeched into other areas of my life, and I'm deeply ashamed of it all. It's much tamer now, but I can't say I stopped.
