I agree. I believe that one should and can be content with the necessities of life- food clothing, shelter- and have earnestly tried to live a minimalist life, starting with cleaning out my closet of clothes that I don't need/ wear and trying to put my ponies out of sight into storage, but it's REALLY difficult. ):
Yes !! It will be quite a challenge xD I have a few plushies in storage right now that I bet I will sell about half of when I look at them again. I don't think most of them actually mean much to me in the end, but I am quite curious as to how it will go.

I think there is a balance. I love the thought of minimalism, but I do like "stuff" too. All of my silly things now fit in my closet, WITH my clothes. They are displayed nicely -- not jammed in.
I'm in the process of deciding what kind of display system will work in my home-- so that's why they are in the closet. I want something that looks sleek and is multi functional.
My tip to reducing is to take your time. (It's overwhelming HOWEVER, you didn't just buy all those things overnight). Look at everything as a whole -- and choose 2-5 items you like the least. Start there. When those sell, look for the next 2-5 items you like the least -- and repeat. It's not as shocking and emotionally easier process.
I personally still like buying things too. I /really/ think about what I want beforehand now-- and try to not make purchases on a whim. And if I do buy something -- I also get rid of something too. 
Yes, I think I will start slow and get rid of things slowly. I like "stuff" too, but I have been trying to not buy things on a whim and really think it through beforehand. I like the idea of getting rid of something when you buy something new - I might just do that ! I will have to start with my clothes - the more I think about it, the more I realise there are things I own that I haven't worn in 6-7 years or so. No point keeping those lol. And then... I really enjoy selling things to others, specially to collectors. The fact that what I don't necessarily need will bring joy to someone else makes me very happy. I also enjoy taking pictures of what I own, so I think even if I get rid if it, the fact that I can still see it in a picture makes it less of a "loss". I found this out the other day when I was thinking of what ponies I would like to have. And you know what? There really isn't a lot that I would actually like to physically have. I am quite happy just having either the stock pictures or someone else's picture on my pc, so I can look whenever I want. It gives me a sense of ownership somehow, if that makes sense?

Hello guys !
Not sure how to say this, it's quite strange still.
I no longer have a lot of joy in collecting anything at all. I have fun taking pics of the things I own and posting on Instagram, specially new things I buy. However, I don't really feel THAT much joy in it anymore.
Strangely enough, I had been thinking of somehow reducing the things I own, but I wasn't sure how to tackle it. And yesterday I bought a book on Minimalism and... what the author writes actually hit home. It resonated with me so much I... am not sure how to react still.
So, I am not sure how things will go from here. I don't know how deeply I will "purge" my things or how quickly. I know I want to reduce them, but there is so much I am overwhelmed.
As a start, I have stuff for sale on my Ebay (link on sig) and I am willing to post anywhere and do bulk discounts if people buy several things (I always combine shipping). But I think I will seriously need to take some time to go through my things and think what I want to keep or not...
Anyone gone through the same here? Anyone changed their lives completely like this? Any advice or thoughts? I value any opinion.
Also, sorry if this in the wrong place xD feel free to move it if that's the case !
And thank you for taking the time to read this.

What do the backs of the cards look like? One of the ways to identify a fake card is to compare the backs to a real card. You can spot out differences and errors pretty quick that way.
From what I could notice straight away, the backs of the Spanish cards are way darker in colour. The others all look the same, tbh.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !! Got it sorted real quick Cool !! To be honest the pokemon company rarely ever makes mistakes; name switching is definitely not of them. From looking at these cards a lot of them look like fakes/bootleg cards. Making them worthless sadly.
Oh, I see ! Thank you so much for the info

I think the Rainbow Dash is a Kinder Egg toy.
The boy doll is a Bratz I think
Love pkw xxx
I can confirm it is indeed a kinder egg toy ! Thank you for that Do you happen to know which line the bratz doll is from? I know it's Cameron and I think he is the second release of this character, but I am not sure... I think the brush in this picture https://flic.kr/p/QEDSuS belongs to a Bratz Ponyz pony.
Yup, it is !! Thank you so much !
