    Yeah, I never really got the "completionist" vibe. Collecting for me is synonym of selecting from the pool what I love the most and get it. If it means a whole line, well... But it has never meant that for me. I'm glad you're prioritizing yourself over the harsh schedules and implications of being a "content creator" nowadays. Hope you can enjoy collecting again far from all the social media noise. :)

    Society and the world, as a whole, have changed so much in the past few years. There's kind of a dark vibe to life now that wasn't there before. ♥

    Elvira, Thank you from the bottom of my soul. I’ve been feeling this way about my doll room for a while. I’ve been watching your videos for years and feel like I really needed to hear these feelings from someone else to give me that little boost I need. I’m gonna sell most of mine, too, starting tomorrow. Thanks for all of the fun videos, over the years! I wish you the absolute best of success with your health!

    I agree with you so much and after losing as many dolls as I did, it made me reevaluate the importance of doll collecting too. I now only collect what I absolutely love and try to replace what I'm absolutely devastated by. Everything else is unimportant and we definitely should focus on whatever it is that lights our soul aflame. I wish you so much hope and love for your medical journey. I genuinely care about your well being and wish you nothing but the best💖💖

    It’s so funny that you posted this, lately I don’t have the same feeling enjoy about my doll collecting. I feel like there’s an emptiness there that is no longer being filled by my collecting. I’ve also started getting into other things, such as quilting and sewing, which I really do enjoy. I also have a small soap company that I had to let go during the pandemic. Now I’m starting up again. so, what I basically started doing was just donating a lot of my dolls to other doll collectors, who are just starting out collecting or just reaching out to people and donating dolls to them. I would love to sell them however, I just don’t have the time or the energy. But I love that you’ve posted this.

    I feel you 100% lately i ve seen feelings the same way I think we been through a lot up and down with the community but after the scalpers came to the game. i feel like it has made us buy dolls just because we are afraid of loosing our opportunity but deep down we don’t even care for them ones we open them and they just go to the shelf to collect dust.

    💜 It's so good to hear you chat about things and to know that you're not leaving the doll community, just scaling back your collecting so that you have time, space & funds for your bead passion project business. I love The Doll Circle for the focus on community and will look forward to any doll videos or related videos you make in this new chapter of your life 🌟

    I am a newish collector so would have loved to hear how things changed the past 10 years. It's always interesting to know the history. I never was a completionist and just pick the stuff I love. Also, I need time to enjoy my stuff so I can't collect too fast.
    Do what makes you happy!
    Wishing you all the best!

    I feel very much the same. I have a room full of dolls, not as many as you do, but I still have a lot and I decided to stop buying them a year ago due to not being not as excited about them anymore. I was a huge Monster High fan and I just don’t feel the same about them anymore, I haven’t for a few years now, mainly since they changed the look of them. I’ve also been going through medical problems since mid 2022, so I can totally relate. This year I’ve been focusing on my health, working and I’ve really got back in to gaming and reading fantasy and sci-fi novels. I’m really enjoying it. I still watch your channel as it still brings joy, even if I just go back to your old videos.

    I have dolls but not loads of them. I have the ones I like, but didn't collect everyone of them, partly because of space but also budget and also because I don't like every one of them. But I can see all them as they are on display. You shouldn't feel obliged to keep this going if you don't want them, I have sold some dolls that I no longer needed and have no connection with.

  • @jpopluvr1000
    @jpopluvr1000 22 часа назад

    I am SO happy and grateful for your honest videos. You are a wonderful person as many are in the doll community. I also used to LOVE creating doll content so I could make relationships with people that I never had in my personal life. I also do not agree with where social media is going nor do I feel the importance of my presence on social media as often. Turning 31 this year and being put in a rough spot in my life has really made me focus on many other aspects. I love watching doll content constantly and I always live for the new leaks and doll drops. I just don’t feel the need to share that excitement as often online anymore in video form. I am so happy that you are on your bead journey!! I still love all of your content, and I’m so glad you are still sharing after all of these years!
    Xoxo, Colin

    That's an interesting plush, very cutesy with a cool eye gimmick. I can relate to this. We're not the same people we were years ago. Our lives and other circumstances can change. We find new interests and might need to free up space for those endeavors. I have 15+ years worth of dolls and I like what I've collected but finally got to the point where I was overwhelmed by the amount. Even though I tried to be pickier this year when I actually wrote down what I bought it was still a lot. I still plan to collect but I want to start a low buy journey with some stricter doll budgeting rules, to let more things go, and to display my collection in a way that I can better enjoy it.

    My collecting focus changes sometimes.. month-to-month.... Right now for some reason I'm obsessed with finding obscure hello Kitty figures... But I do still adore my other collections... I tend to have sessions where I just admire them... Love what you love because you love it not because everybody else wants you to love it....good luck on your journey ❤️

    I think it's so smart to make your new passion your job and make money while you are at it. I agree as time goes by we shift and become overwhelmed then move on to the next thing lol 🤦🏻‍♀️. I've been slowy phasing out my doll collection since last year and only keeping what I really love instead of collecting the complete doll series.
    I hope your new endeavors bring you happiness and money income opportunities. ❤

  • @millarex7796

    my doll collection has always been moving, when something new comes in something old has to go. but a lot of my dolls give me good memories like the one given to me for chrismas, the ones my mom has given to me with love i will never let go, and i think if there comes a day i need a collecting break, i think i will pack it all away, because i know with my self it will come back, and i don't want to start all over. but i wishing you all the best with your decision and new life, and i hoping you are making the right one.

    When my Dad announced he wanted to sell our house we lived for nearly 20 years it triggered me to start selling all of my My Little Pony collection that included all the Build a Bear plushies and MIB Equestria Girls to prove myself. I’ve yet to sell most of my Monster High collection to allow myself to only keep my celebrities out of the box, StarWars and Disney doll!

  • @c.w.2000
    @c.w.2000 День назад +1

    I’m sorry for your health issues. I’m in Canada where our healthcare is bad, but at least it’s free. So, it’s great you found something that you enjoy and hopefully brings more money. I am happy to hear that you will still be doing the podcasts because I do like to hear your opinion on new things coming out.
    I do also think relative to collection size that it can become so large that it sinks under its own weight (physically and emotionally). It would be different if we actually had rooms of space with beautiful display cases, but very few people can afford that. So, I think that whatever the cut-off is (probably a few hundred, at most), focusing on your curated favourites can actually bring more enjoyment. Also, of course take photos and save the videos of your sales so they become a memorable experience. That way you will always have the memories of the dolls.

    So please keep getting better, Elvira ❤ we love you and are always here through this together with you, even if you don’t realize it ☺️ I’ve watched this channel for so long that I can’t imagine what things will be like if you weren’t uploading your cool videos 😍 I love all of them, all of your stories, and seeing your friendships grow stronger with others on here. Many blessings to you ✨💖✨

    Years ago, I loved 1/3 BJD dolls with a sexy or mature vibe. But now, I hardly touch them anymore and have shifted to liking smaller 1/6 dolls with a cute, adorable, baby-like vibe. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten older and have a baby now.

    Transitioning can be hard but fun at the same time. I’ve seen the large bunny you got and actually tried getting her, but she sold out. I’m interested in those also and have considered getting some. I love bunnies and teddies. I am still getting dolls, but may change the type of dolls. I love them, but not the fighting for them. I’m sorry you’ve had some physical things going on and glad you continue to improve. I’m happy you are enjoying your new business. I’m thinking of starting a business but it’s totally different from what you are doing. At first when I saw your video, I was upset, but then I thought that your happiness is most important. I’m looking forward to seeing anything you video here. Take care sweetie 😊💗

    I wish I could afford the collection you have. Makes me wish i could buy your dolls. I have only done a few things on whatnot but can't afford the dolls. You were the first doll RUclipsr I watched since 2016, and you made me nostalgic for them and got me crazy for rainbow high. I've missed the doll reviews tho. I actually missed a doll show in Florida cuz i couldn't afford to even enter the door. So I definitely understand this. The pullip dolls especially i would have loved to own that you found at Tuesday morning. I wouldn't have known to doll hunt there if not for your videos.

    All my life, people have seemingly hated commercials. Commercials are to be skipped. Go to the bathroom. Get a snack. Nobody wants to watch them. We've now become a society where people ASPIRE to be "social media influencers" AKA NON-STOP COMMERCIALIZED CONTENT. People don't buy things because they want them anymore. They buy them so they can be the first content creator to feature the items for maximum views and engagement. It's just gotten so gross. People need to get out and do things they love, rather than sitting on a computer, or phone, watching people selling them stuff they don't need.
