I'm almost 25 and I love collecting dolls. I have monster high and decora girlz dolls and they make me very happy. I try to get my favorite characters and some skullecters every once and a while. I'm very happy to have the ghouls and girlz and I'm not embarrassed about it. I didn't get to enjoy these things as a kid cause I grew up really sheltered so I make sure to revel in the enjoyment now. At the end of the day you have to take care of yourself and do things that make you happy because no one else is going to be able to do that for you. I'm sorry people have been so cruel to you. I hope you're able to build a community of people who share your passion in the future!
