My life has changed tremendously since I began collecting. I'm not in a phase right now where I am actively building my collection. I will always lovd ponies and consider myself a collector. I guess I'm following Marie Kondo when it comes to ponies: buy the ones that spark joy! I went overboard with "gotta collect em all" G3-itis and I got burned out. I had close to 1,000 ponies but it was too many to enjoy. You dont have to buy All The Ponies to be a fan, collector, or love them
