Seems I'm the first with this reason/problem: I have an incredibly addictive personality
For many years I was heavily into body building. I ate (A LOT!), slept, and breathed body building. I was obsessed, and reached a relatively high level of physique, with plans to compete. It was all I watched, researched, and followed on social media.
Then I started getting tattooed. Again, I was obsessed with tattoos. I researched, followed all of the prominent artists of my preferred style on social media, and well, got tattooed. This was at the same time as my body building phases.
Then 2 years ago I mentioned to my girlfriend that I wouldn't mind a bonsai as my upcoming birthday gift. A simple little serissa mallsai set me off on my current bonsai addiction...
After getting the small tree I began to google how to look after the thing. I remember one of the first bonsai videos I watched on Youtube was a Bjorn video where he styled a juniper. Mind being blown! I had to know more!
And now here I am with close to 100 trees and seedlings in various stages of development, all within 2 years.
