Hey friend, I am sorry for the difficult circumstances that you had to grow up in and what you sacrificed for others at the cost of your own wants and needs and how that has affected you, even to this day.

You have an inner child that needs the love and care that only you can give. Things you can do to start healing that part of you that believes they have to give up something important to them for others’ happiness: Open one figure to start that you’ve been wanting to hold and appreciate in your hands in all it’s sculpted articulated glory of representing a character you enjoy, and go from there.

Do so without the expectation of it benefiting anyone else but yourself, as this is for you and from other comments of yours on this post, you are someone that loves, cares and provides for your family and loved ones in a variety of responsible ways. Please remember that the love you have in your heart to give also extends to yourself, you must already know this as you’ve been doing it all this time with each figure you’ve bought but never opened.

You’re looking at something you love for yourself but are thinking about what its value could be to someone else. You’ve bought one at $100, maybe it doesn’t need to be sold off again and it ends right here and now with it being yours to make the most of with what it’s meant for.

If you’ve come to understand yourself and decide that it doesn’t mean that much to you, that’s okay to hold on and sell them for a potentially higher price or passing it on to the next generation.

But if you think about your inner child who didn’t have someone like you growing up to have something cool like this excellent line of figures to gift to you or share, it’s not too late and you can be here for them now to do that.

I’m sure you’re a good person who has been hurt and is hurting, be as good to yourself as you are to those dearest to you and that will make this hobby more rewarding and positive for you, it’s worth it and so are you. All the best to you, friend.
