To forget about life for a while.
Not to say life is terrible...but stress can play a role in my life.
When I get too worked up over something...I self medicate with my hobby (and maybe a few beers). It is sort of like therapy, only cheaper.
I am the only person out of family/friends/work that collects.
I love that! It is mine.

I look forward to what I thought I would never have as a child.

Nothing more satisfying than finding a vintage card I need and can afford and marking it off my checklist (wantlist)
