MichealHi everyone who might end up reading this,
First of all, I really love collecting. Not just figures, all kinds of things. It kept adding and adding and I refused to sell and it was fine. It helped me with overcoming pain, mentally as well as physically.
Till a turning point hit me.
After 3 years of suffering without knowing the cause, always extremely tired, waves of incredible pain in my body. We found out that I'm probably chronically ill, I will not go into details don't worry. But let's say there's no cure for this, there's things to make it more livable, but I will never be able to get rid of the always being tired and certain waves of pain.
This made me realise how fragile life can be, and what a drag it is to have so many items. I found experiences with my partner are way more important. Collecting will always be a part of me and something I love to do. But it's time for me to get rid of everything that isn't something I REALLY want.
But my biggest selling reason is because of me being always tired, I can't clean everything anymore, it gets too tiring. And knowing now there's no cure to that, I can't keep living that way.
Not sure why I ended up writing an article about this, probably to share a bit of my story and spread the word that spending time with your loved ones is important. And to take good care of yourselves, Thanks for reading :3
Much love

I can 100% relate to not being able to clean everything due to illness, too. My poor figures haven't been dusted in months because my shoulders and neck hurt all the time due to being so stiff/I'm not sure what, and I can't dust more than a few figures at a time due to my body hurting so much after. My room is a freaking gross mess, and I hate it. There's no trash, but I hate how stuff is everywhere because of the fear of pain coming back. Figures also help me deal with my own issues, as well.
My family would like to have the best from me but I'm not sure I can give them... I'm just so sick. Collecting helps me cope with all these stuff but I don't know for how much long.
I hate my life.
But I wish the best for your life! I hope you might find happiness eventually.
Hope you can get needed medication and find your new way to live your life!
Memories with loved one and enjoying the present moments with them are worth it!
I learn that in whatever situation we found ourselves in, there are always things to be thankful for, if we just change our perspective abit.. And, I am glad that you discovered things that truly matters for you :) I wish you the best and pray that new solutions may come to you and improve your circumstances.
You could be more picky with buying things in the future, or even take a break every once in a while, or not buy anything at all.
But if your collection makes you happy, try to keep the items that you can store, stored in their boxes right now.
You can still look at the items in box and be happy that you have something from series' and games that bring you joy.
Wishing you the best in navigating your life in the future, hoping all goes well for you ! :)
I don't have stable income (ironically 2020 was my best year for making bank) so eventually I refrained buying fun stuff. I even had to missed out on grails. The last non-necessity item I bought was the Cinnamoroll Build-a-Bear. Though I was very happy when he arrived and I plan on dressing him up.
I am an atheist. But if God does exist. Then I pray someday I will have that happy chapter in my life in the future. I kept being told "things will get better." But when?
