Excellent headway.
Thanks!
I understand your look at the hobby side like you have been. It may seem crazy but I was listening to a therapist the other day talking about his addiction to owning cd’s. His conclusion was that there are harmful addictions and passive ones.
Some value here! Harm is probably another one of those relative things. There are times when I've spent more than wise because some figures looked lovely, and I had ideas for wonderful gaming. I get inspired by articles as well, and then when seeing figures that match what I'd love to be doing, then I buy them.
Are you causing anyone undo hardship because of your collection?
Nope. The only thing I can think of is if not paying attention to relationships, yet a balanced life, although not easy to achieve, is possible.
Going into uncontrollable financial issues because of it?
Thankfully not, although some of the spending at times has been more than wise. I'm much better about it these days, and my income has increased, and the latter makes both less of an issue.
Causing health issues to yourself or family?
Definitely not.
If none of the above apply and it brings pleasure of sorts, then there is no reason for concern. Of course I’m no professional, am not saying you are addicted, and this fully justifies my outlook (😺), so continue till you don’t feel like it anymore!
Not sure I'm addicted to much. There are probably those who'd say I'm in denial regarding these miniatures, but it is more the quantity of unfinished projects that I'm most concerned about, and want to get to them all. Or else decide which ones to let go of accordingly. Can't recall ever thinking about the latter before this past weekend, although I'm thinking this is probably healthy to at least be entertaining the idea. But we'll see.
My back hurts from sitting too long this evening trying to write the next installment of my campaign account. So, my hobby does cause me pain.
That's it, it stops now! Although ... I might as well finish this story off first!
No back problems from this yet. My back problems seem to stem more from aging, a compression of the back over time as I shrink in height.
