From collecting to hoarding

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
