Collecting

become a collector of something… coins rocks pins pens cards hotel mini toiletries stamps teeth jewels dolls/figurines old bus passes CDs DVDs hats posters hair clips silly putty/slime postcards novelty napkins from restaurants/cafés vintage license plates receipts earrings vinyls glasses handkerchiefs old lady broaches insects swords socks obsolete tech …my friends, the sky is quite literally the limit here. for the most part, anything can become a collectable if you decide to collect it. so…what are u a collector of?

Collecting something you love

If you collect things thinking that they’re 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 don’t smoke. When you collect something you love, it’s like filling your space with love, and in turn, loving yourself.

starting collections

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!

going to concerts alone

just saw someone recommend going to the cinema alone but going to concerts alone is the real boss move and way more fun. it’s a nice way to make new friends and also just chit chat with other people who have the same interest as you even if you may never see them again. bonus: way easier to get to the front of the standing area when you don’t have to drag a friend with you ! i’ve done this a couple times i hope to do it again when my anxiety isn’t as crippling another recommendation in the same vein: going to concerts of artists you don’t know or barely know their music! went to ethel cain by myself and had barely listened to her music now she’s one of my favourite artists and i’m so glad i went
