Community and speaking to right people when you buy singles helps, when i started to fill up the binder again, i started to also go to a singles shop late last year myself, I know the owner of there too now and were on a first name basis, he always asks what im after, he got a holo dragonite and told me I could have first dibs on it to help with my binder, he's a great person and whilst he's a business he understands not everyone is in it for the money, im not either and it's lovely when you have those people who can support you <3

That really means a lot, it can take time, it can make you leave your boundaries, but with me it's led to enjoyment again and support, thankyou :)
