I used to collect knick-knacks, like wizards, trolls and little buddhas, and arrange them like precious things on a shelf.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For a while I was collecting Satan and devil stuff - you know, anything that had to do with old Beelzebub or Lucifer. But I had to put the brakes on it, because there's a lot of stuff out there, and the collection was just growing too quickly.
I am a Buddhist, therefore I should not be collecting anything - however, I have a collection of Buddhas. I have a lot of them.
I come from a family of compulsive collectors, and my first memories are really all about collecting. I remember visiting flea markets with my mother or my grandmother - she goes to local ones around Varese, Italy, every Sunday when she's at home.
I grew up around old stuff that was not necessarily valuable, but certainly unusual.
I shop at thrift stores a lot. I have a lot of silver pitchers and I put my flowers in those. I collect antiques, so there are a lot of old rocking chairs... My friends call my home the vortex because nobody wants to leave.
I collect lucky pennies that I find on the ground. I keep them in a Ziploc bag.
I'm not a collector. I toss things out all the time.
I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits... they're like souvenirs.
I don't really collect anything. I grew up in a family that collected things, and then they'd get sick, and people die, and then they have their basements full of stuff that goes from one box to the next, so I try not to get sentimental with stuff. I just try to collect memories; I guess that would be it.
I collect fantasy swords, replicas from films, and have them displayed on the wall as you go up the stairs.
