When you think of collecting items what comes to mind first
Stamps, Baseball cards and coins probably
Some folks have the most bizarre collections:
Belly Button Fluff
Airplane sick bags (hopefully unused)
Pringle boxes
Erasers
Toothpaste tubes
Ring pull openers from beer cans
Banana tags
Bowling balls
Bricks
Hotel Do Not Disturb signs
Fossilized excrement
The list is endless as people will collect almost anything
When your collecting gets out of control you may a hoarder
Hoarding is a disorder when excessive amounts of items are stored in clutter
We are all guilty of hoarding to some extent, its really a spectrum
Parents will often keep their child’s school report cards and certificates forever
Do you remember your parents bringing out photos of you as a child
The most embarrassing ones showed you naked in the bath probably
Will future generations pull out old selfies and digital photographs
Is having 30,000 photos on your iPhone considered hoarding
Don’t feel obliged to keep your inherited collections
Especially if they are debts or jars of belly button fluff
