I don't fit the typical H customer demographic--to start with, I certainly don't make enough to entertain actually ever playing the game long-term lol. However, I fell in love with the mini Roulis a couple of years ago. Since then, I've been patiently biding my time for a Roulis with the exact specs (Etain, permabrass hardware, excellent condition, reasonable price) to pop up on the secondhand market. And a few weeks ago, it did! I bought it immediately and knew it was going to be my daily driver from then on out.
Growing up, I've always been incredibly precious about my higher-end items and babied them to no end. However, I'm honestly kind of tired of wasting so much bandwidth on that and wanna do a better job of living in the moment. Thus, I made the decision to bring her along for my trip to San Francisco this past weekend at the Pokemon World Championships!
I came in knowing she would get a few new minor scratches/scuffs after the intense three-day ordeal (and she did)--but surprisingly, I'm not as bothered as I thought I'd be! The memories of having her with me the whole time more than made up for it. In fact, I'm already getting excited at the prospect of bringing her along with me to Hawaii and Singapore next year. Love, love, love her to death and I am so impressed with the level of craftsmanship she boasts. Who knows, I may have to pick up another H bag down the line....
