About This Quote
Many people are passionate about things, but what makes a passion into a collector’s passion are the memories that come with it. With every new memory, the passion becomes increasingly alive. You might not remember everything you did when you were younger, but you do remember the important parts. When your passion is something you did when you were younger, it can feel like it belongs to you.
