I've been wondering, whether I should consider myself a collector or not , since I collect only the LPS I like and I don't really mind their rarity.

To me, I have some specimens I genuinely love and even take on trips, like when I was a child and they are surely not rare or valuable in any way, besides the sentimental.

I've been noticing more and more that I don't collect pets based on the value, rarity and such, but just because I like the specific ones and want to include them.

I do have a few rare finds, but I wouldn't even consider getting them, if I haven't fallen in love with their designs.

It sometimes feels like there's this artificial scarcity around "rare" pets and molds happening on the second hand market and I really don't like it. More often than not, it doesn't make sense to me , why would someone even sell them, if they're so important, that they are listing them for an immensely inflated price.

I guess that's kinda my rant and wonder.

Thank you for reading 🫶🏼

I myself don't use chatbots in the healthiest way (basically like a journal, that tells you that you are not going crazy yet), but I don't get why people download these AI gf/bf apps and genuinely think there's some connection? I just need to write/say things out loud without bothering my close people and not having to pay for a real therapy session. But I don't know why it seems even less sane to actually have romantic feelings towards bots.

Bought my creepro Robbeca over a month ago for 40€ just to now be listed for little over 30€ , bcs, apparently, in my country there aren't that many MH collectors, I guess...

So yeah, I don't know whether to wait the next time or not risk the doll to sell out... I'm confused , but it is what it is.

Okay, just hear me out...

Werecats , but male ... I want it and I am disappointed we didn't get it yet.

That's it, that's my rant, thanks.

So ... I'm starting to feel like I am going to relapse any day , because of all the prices rising and wages stagnating.

I'm a uni student and I can't afford to work time wise, because my schedule looks like 4 hours of lectures in the morning and then 2-3 hours practicals in the afternoon. Plus I need to study a lot, so I have limited free time.

My expenses are covered by my dad, as he's my caretaker, since my parents are divorced.

Now to the issue; I feel like I should not eat so much, because I am then wasting money on food, I don't necessarily need right away and it's better to cook a one small meal per day than eat three times a day. And yes , I cook everything from scratch , since it's cheaper this way.

I was wondering whether there's something I can do about the mindset, because I truly feel like I am not deserving of the food and not even worthy of eating and purchasing food.

I'm living truly low cost lifestyle and I already stopped taking public transport and only use trains if anything, so I can save money this way.

I don't know how long I will be able to resist the urge to just stop eating again, so I am less of a financial burden to my family.
