July
This year I've made some progress. I've treated myself with more love. I gave myself the chance to look how I want, act how I want. Fed myself nourishing food, learned new skills, tried to give up some bad habits. At the cusp of thirty-four, it took everything out of me to learn to respect myself. That's not to say dark things no longer slither in from time to time. But I've made some progress. And I think that's enough.

Feeling content is something I've not used myself to. But today I woke up, started on some bread, had my coffee, and a chat with a good friend who is too far away. The sun is shining, a gentle breeze makes the trees in the backyard whisper, the pages of my book tactile joy between my fingertips.

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

It's summer, 2013. I sit on the back porch of my grandmother's home in the village. The sun is setting; a pale atmosphere of faded blue over rows of trees, starkly silhouetted against the light. Chickens cluck away in our neighbor's yard, faint voices down the street. A scent of citronella, fruitlessly trying to ward off the mosquitoes. My mouth is full of sugar; watermelon and feta cheese (truly, don't slam it until you try it!) I'm dreaming about anything but, and now I want to go back I want to go back I want to go back

I wish I had been told something like this earlier when I first started collecting. Perhaps, I find myself thinking, I wouldn't have gone through so many periods of feeling completely dissatisfied and disconnected with my crew which pushed me to sell more and more of them off if I had. This happened less the more I matured as a doll collector over the course of the last nearly 15 years that I've been in the hobby of course, which is easily reflected in my current collection, but I do sometimes mourn the choices I made pre 2018...
What advice would you give to someone getting into doll collecting?
