It is once more the time of year during which my age increments by one. (Well, by "it is" I mean "it will be within a few months", but hey, I'm doing my birthday shopping ahead of schedule!)

I have recently acquired arts and placed them on my wall. I now have an overwhelming urge to place more arts on the wall. (I have purchased two arts to place on the wall.) I have three wardrobe door things, so now I want to place a series of arts onto each of them! I'm thinking of Hydrogene's Women in Science series of minimalist posters, and have selected three of them. (Valentina Tereshkova, Chien-Shiung Wu, and Lise Meitner, for those wondering.) – But, is it worth? Should I? Should I get these arts, or should I wise up and save the money?

The thing is, will I ever be able to stop? On the one hand, this feels like a desire to make this space mine, but what if I'm just an art addict? What if I never stop and the walls of my room shall be plastered with arts? (Unlikely, since I know what negative space is, but still.)

In utterly unrelated news, SOMEONE ELSE IS REQUESTING UPLIFT! Please post a letter, requester, I want to be FRIENDS FOREVER.

Maybe buy one art now and save the rest of the money?

I actually went and bought all three, lol. Shipping to here is expensive enough that generally it's better to save up a bit and then buy a lot of stuff, since even if they have to place them in separate packages or whatever, it's less money spent. Here, it was 5€ shipping, but it can be up to 15€ for a single shipment, depending on where they're shipping it from.

Also, I ... really wouldn't deal well with only having ONE art out of three up. (And I'm employed currently, so I'm not having to pick between paying rent and eating noodles or whatever.)

I completely forgot about shipping, sorry. You made the right decision, then!

Thank you! And a happy early/late birthday to you as well!

Happy lengthened birthday celebration! Those posters are super awesome and I think a great choice, though I'm the kind of person whose home has multiple "gallery walls" full of arts so I may be the cautionary tale. XD

Thanks! I currently live in student housing, so after these, I'll have run out of walls/good art spaces. Further art collection will be curbed until I move to a house where I have more walls. (Walls I can drill holes in, maybe.)
