“If the hobby’s like gambling… shouldn’t the goal be to quit collecting altogether?”
Not quite. Collecting isn’t the problem—it’s how we engage with it.

Some folks can rip, spend, and collect within their means. For others, it becomes a cycle of compulsion, regret, and spiraling habits.

This isn’t about quitting the hobby.
It’s about healing your relationship with it.
So you can enjoy collecting without it controlling you.

Big thanks to @denny_cards for giving me the stage to speak on something that affects way more people than we realize. These conversations are how change starts.
