My friend and I collect old video games. But all my physical media just sits on my shelves and collects dust. Why do I even collect them? I literally just emulate everything. Is there a purpose to what I do? People ask me why I collect and I never have a real answer because I don’t even know. If I never play my stuff, is it worth just selling?
This all sounds like good, but it isn’t.
What if we need to feel a purpose to do things? I am not a hoarder, just because of this reason. I only play or buy games that me or my children would play. Because hoarding, for the sake of hoarding doesn’t make sense to me.
You say that we don’t need to have an excuse to do things you do, and I disagree with that, because to feel good about my actions, I need to make sense of my actions. Otherwise it all feels purposeless.
It isn’t hoarding. People really need to stop throwing that around so casually.
And Im sorry to hear you can’t just do things. Needing a purpose all the time sounds exhausting.
