I'd love to know what other people think
Quote from: xTic_Tac_Toex on December 18, 2017, 12:23:45 PMI'd love to know what other people thinkOh honestly, who cares what other people think? If you enjoy something and it doesn't harm you or anyone else, then go for it. Yeah, there will always be people who think toys are something you outgrow, and for some people, that's true, but for other people it's not. We're different. Everyone is different. No one has to question their hobbies or qualify them with their other hobbies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think it does depend on the child. As a collector, I aim to experience the joy I felt as a child. Do I play with them? I wish I did still have capacity to play, but I enjoy the collecting instead. I wish there wasn't the huge pressure to "grow up" for kids.
Objects do not have age limits. The concept is yet another thing made up by people who feel the need to control others in menial ways. It’s kind of sad actually, I think we’d all be much happier in general if anybody could enjoy the happier things in life!
This is something I think about a lot, and I'd love to know what other people think I feel like society we're conditioned to believe we should behave in certain ways and like certain things based on our age and gender. Surely this starts from before we even know what is happening: girls are dressed in pink and boys are dressed in blue.
I really don't get why people feel the need to judge others for enjoying toys (or anything for that matter, but staying on topic...) other than towing the societal line, but fortunately I've managed to mostly get past bothering about what narrow-minded people think. At the end of the day, my little bundle of toys makes me happy, and that's all that matters. Also, when you get right down to it, how is toy collecting any different from collecting ornaments or anything else? Choices are still made based on personal connections and aesthetic tastes, they're just made of different materials.
