i want to get back to my collections.

classic books.

the highest priority.

after that is aprons.

following is objects FROM books:

two white elephants.

skipping rope.

lockets.

bird cage.

carp.

acorns.

bow and arrow.

marbles.

skeleton keys.

etc.

collecting things is a completely irrational waste of money. and it makes more sense to me than a lot of things.

theres something very animal about it. HOARDING. selfishness... making certain other people don't get a bit of it...

you rationalize by convincing yourself and others you are saving these items... and certainly you are in some ways.

but what made you start collecting them?

it was FINDING them...

the discovery of something alone.

that was just so wonderful you wanted it...

and you want many of them...

i have a savior complex when it comes to items.
