I want to start collecting things again but I'm really scared to. I used to collect things but every time that I did, those things would end up being taken from me. A few examples: when I was 6 I started collecting Porcelain dolls. They meant everything to me, but then two family members got into a drunken argument and one of them smashed them all. When I was 9 I started collecting ornaments of swans but most of them were broken when I moved house.
I would collect teddy bears and barbie dolls but because they just sat on a shelf and I didn't "play" with them they were thrown away by my parents. Since these incidences I've mostly avoided collecting specific things. I am a bit of a hoarder of random objects though.
I've been wanting to collect again for years but I'm so scared that something bad will happen and I'll be so upset all over again. Can anybody else relate to this? Did you get over it?
