101 because I forgot this secret...
A years ago back I was really into anime/manga fandom. I had wall scrolls, I had action figures, I had key chains, I had shot glasses, I had pins, I had plushies, I had jewelry, I had animation cels and most of all I had a ton of manga volumes and VHS/DVDs of anime. Seriously, a ton.
Then the house I was living in was sold. Everything needed to be packed up and moved to my new apartment. That wasn't an easy task. I gave away a few fandom things to lighten the load. Then my new apartment complex was sold and my flat was going to be turned into a condo. Once again, I packed up my fandom but gave away some more stuff to make the job less of a hassle. Then my new apartment complex was sold and I had to move again. More packing. More giving away. (The reason for the apartment blow-out was because this was during the housing boom. People were snatching up apartment complexes and turning them into condos like the way some people change their socks.)
By my fifth move, yeah, fifth, I had given away about 95% of my fandom items, all but four manga titles, all of my tapes and quite a bit of my DVDs.
I had gone from a dozen boxes to one. And, honestly, I don't miss it.
Don't get me wrong, I still love anime and manga. However, it's nice to not have that weight pulling me down.
The amount of stuff doesn't make you a fan, it's the fan, herself, that does.
