With every TF I take out of storage, the more I feel that my 'toy collecting' days are over. I keep pulling things out and thinking "Do I really want this?" and the answer is usually "No".

I think having had most of my TFs out of my sight for so long kept me blind to the reality of how many I actually have, and how greatly out of proportion that number is to how many I actually needwant.

I have wondered if this feeling is caused by my general unhappiness, but I don't think so. I think instead I bought so many TFs over the recent years as a reaction to and distraction from unhappiness. I've just ended up with a lot of TF figures that just take up space and that I don't have any desire to play with or look at.

A smaller collection of toys that I really like is better than a large collection full of toys I have just for the sake of having them.
