The Collector

Collecting stuff and keeping them has been a hobby of mine since childhood. I don't exactly remember when I started, but I do remember a special place where I kept most of the little things I valued. I collected anything from rocks, marbles, coins, stamps, little toys, feathers, leaves, dead insects, books, pieces of paper. My collection never really had a theme, a rhyme or reason, it was just that - a collection of things that intrigued me and things that I thought were valuable.

The condition of the items in the collection never bothered me. Over time I had some deteriorate and lose some of the "mint", but that was never on my mind as a kid. All that ever mattered to me was that they were there for me to look at and enjoy whenever I wanted.
