Having a collection of a specific item a fun and rewarding pastime that gives you something to buy as a souvenir when you're abroad instead of some tacky gift shop garbo, but more importantly, it gives people more opportunities to give you gifts. I collect vintage Playboys (sex appeal), crystals (not for the mysticism, I just like geology), and hands (glass, wooden, pendants, etc). Now when people find one of these items, they will think of me and get it for me as a gift. Create as many opportunities to receive gifts as possible, as it's many people's love language. They won't be so embarrassed to gift if they can play it off like they're just adding to your very important collection. Cultivate opportunities for love to grow.

Even if theyre meaningless things like ordinary rocks or spare coins. Collect receipts, stuffed animals, jewelry, beads, marbles, crystals, stickers, pins, buttons, bottles, shoes, small toys, literally anything you enjoy. Create a collection of things that make you happy its honestly so fun.

one of my childhood pleasures that have stuck w me since. i love realizing i own 2 things of the same nature and deciding to expand my collection HOWEVER it needs to be a sincere collection (something u build over a long period of time and where each item has a little backstory) as opposed to an artificial one (getting 30 items in one go from the same place.) so far i have a silver rings collection and a "rocks that have a strange shape or pattern" one!

If you collect things thinking that theyโre going to amass value or one day become worth something, you miss out on the potential to feel value now. Collect things that make you smile and feel nostalgic.
Collect memories, and items that are incredibly personal and meaningful to you specifically. Collect over a long period of time so you can continue to feel joy and excitement when you find another treasure.
So collect plush Scooby Doo blankets from the early 2000s, and smile to yourself when you pull one out on a cold day. Collect silly and impractical mugs, and laugh with your friends when you serve them warm tea. Collect little match boxes from your favorite local places even though you donโt smoke.
When you collect something you love, itโs like filling your space with love, and in turn, loving yourself.

Need I say more? You're falling for the government psyop to sedate the masses and so they'll put up with increasingly bleak standards of living, lies, etc.

Instagram blog of a 21-year-old Catholic autistic girl from Canada named Becky. She's addicting to watch and honestly, it's very feel-good content. She has a support dog named Moses, collects Pope memorabilia, is engaged. Her content ranges from Tiktok trends and GRWMs to sad montages of when she was an addict (I think to weed and alcohol?). Follow her.
