I like collecting because my collections allow me to relive my childhood & my past person :P
I don't collect anything except my thoughts :)
@Knight: that makes sense(,")
@CharlesCuy: I used to collect coins in my childhood, it was an interesting hobby specially when I had people to exchange coins with, but no one do that any more, so I guess this is why I stopped collecting! Yet I still have my collection, that includes coins from former Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, they remind me of the good old days in the 80s :)
When I was around 12-13, I used to collect catalogues of cars. I liked the way how I got them. I always wrote a letter and sent it to an auto-show room and they sent me catalogues for free. It was fun waiting for them. Or maybe I liked that I wrote something and it made things happen.
Erika, I think it's an addiction! I wish you ask my mama that question because she collects everything;) and I believe she might be the one who invented recycling since she is excellent at recycling everything she collects;D
I'm addicted to beauty every where and in everything, so I've a collection of handmade key chains from South Africa, oriental purses from Persia and Turkey and these beautiful old silver jewelries from every where! Why do I collect? I'm helpless Erika, these things talk to me and speak my language:)
