Have you ever watched RuPaul's Drag Race and the queens are asked to "edit" their looks because it's just too much and over the top? I feel like I am at that point with my collections.
I want to focus more on MLP. However, I also collect a number of other things: Angel Pockets (Japanese Polly Pocket), Popples, Rainbow Brite, Gloomy Bears, Pound Puppies, Littlest Pet Shop, and other small random collections.
I need more space, but I am extremely reluctant to bid farewell to some of my other collections. I have come close to selling my Gloomy Bear and Rainbow Brite collections, since they are the ones that I have the least amount of a personal connection to. However, the Marie Kondo approach doesn't work, because I feel joy from all these things, just some illicit more joy than others (MLP and my Angel Pockets, for example, probably bring me the most joy).
I have effectively limited my LPS collection by only keeping my childhood pieces and selling most others. I have tried just collecting the sprites for Rainbow Brite and considered selling the dolls but haven't yet pulled the plug. It's hard to sell things that you worked very hard on gathering, especially if these things are near-complete or in great condition.
So, in a nutshell, I want to downsize, but I don't know where or how to start. The Marie Kondo approach doesn't work for me, and I am afraid I'll feel regret. However, I'll feel some relief to have more free space and more cash. What would you do?
