Collection and joy

This topic has been discussed many times here and its never too much. I have a collection of dolls, as I love them. They are my friends. They don't gossip, they are never mean, don't do any noise or chaos and I can talk to them in my head, hold in my hands and enjoy the texture of their hair, clothes etc. I bought myself two new little dolls, that I always carry in my bag. While filling out tests for my assessment i wrote that I hardly ever collect anything. I could not recall myself collecting any stones or post marks or old coins etc. And only after submission of the results I recalled having a big box full of dolls, that I take care of, they are carefully packed, wrapped to not let them get damaged when storing. I keep them away from anyone and only sometimes when I have my solitude, I unwrap them carefully and enjoy their company. I crave connection, but at the same time I'm exhausted of this crazy world. I'm still awaiting my assessment so I can clarify. Here are the little dolls. I bought these two today.

I'm happy that I have the little mermaid in two versions. There was some argument in the media over Disney swapping the race of the character, but I don't care, I like them both. These dolls give me a lot of joy and I can't wait to be alone with them again and build them a villa and of course take some photos of them there.

  • There's quite a few more, but I don't have to patience to take anymore photos lol

    Anyway, I highly recommend plastic model building as a hobby, wether it's Gundam or something else entirely. It's very relaxing and rewarding (unless you break or lose a piece, then it becomes the end of the world lol)

  • I totally understand the end of the world. For me the relaxing and rewarding thing was sewing clothes for my dolls. I have an old photo of them on my profile. But now I have no time for that anymore. My therapist said, that i used to take care of the dolls as a teenager. I craved friendships but couldn't.
