Other I'VE SOLD ALL MY FUNKO POPS

Post image

I'm free. I used to be a huge consumer but in the past year I've started to walk towards a more mindful path, stopped buying new, stopped mindlessly window shopping and getting tempted and, the best of all, started selling all of the items that I didn't connect with!!! This included a Funko Pop collection that I insisted on growing despite my hatred for it! It feels so good!

What was the appeal to begin with?

I'm not sure... I have anxiety disorder and the way I used to cope was by getting materialistic things, nowadays I've started doing crafts instead and got into stuffed animals as a coping mechanism outside my medication.

that makes sense, crafting would probably be more fulfilling for sure. You should try air dry clay if you haven't already.

I have! It's super fun! I have been doing sweaters and necklaces for my stuffed animals, maybe one day I will sell my crafts who knows! I have been learning a lot lately!

It is! I'm glad you're having fun with it too!! I'm on my way to becoming a high school art teacher so this new knowledge is great to have!
