Collection VS. Obsession

[@livelife365]

Thumb this sucker up if you have collections...or obsessions?

[@livelife365]

good stuff

[@nebraskafrankcourtny]

I want to go to your estate sale! You guys have interesting taste, and one can't have too many books!! My obsessions/collections are books, movies, and Barbie dolls!

[@livelife365]

good stuff, thanks francie

[@ollieandchloe]

Love, love, love your energy, your collection, and your videos. I've been binge watching since I discovered your egg frying tutorial. You ask, is it an obsession or collection? I think it's both! LOL! But hey, if those things bring you joy and happiness--why not. My husband and I have lots of books as well. We used to stack them on the floor in our tiny apartment. Now that we have our own house we finally got bookshelves to get them off the floor. He also collects Star Wars stuff and I have my love for journals, planners, cats, and doll houses. By the way, both you and your wife are both very organized and everything seems to be nicely placed. Very inspiring. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Just started watching your channel today, I have just subscribed, Simply .phenomenal content. Also, can I ask, how old are you? I think we are around similar age. Also, I too love Buddhism and Hawaiian shirts. 👍

[@livelife365]

[@ADDrecords]

I have too many collections lol. Patsy Cline memorabilia, books, 50th anniversary Wizard of Oz stuff, troll dolls, vinyl records, mid-century furniture/stuff, the list goes on 😂 I love your bookshelves!!

[@livelife365]

that is awesome

[@CASHGOTJUICE]

Great video here mike 💯

[@livelife365]

Glad you enjoyed

[@SuzWhat]

Thanks for showing your great collections. I say collection because none of them seem to be hurting you or your wife’s current or future happiness and health. I collect bear figurines like you do turtles. I also collect hand bags and journals. I had to move to digital books due to space limitations. Your bookshelves are awesome! Lately I started collecting original artwork. That gets expensive quickly so I am limiting my purchases. Peace and Love...SuzWhat ☮️💚

[@livelife365]

awesome collections

[@joshjohnson5009]

It does matter! It’s beautiful. It’s the fabric of your lives. Theater is the life of you’.

[@carolinecordelia]

It's all neat and tidy and dust free, so I would say you have multiple collections/hobbies. I think obsession is when it takes over your life and it make it hard for you economically or other ways hindering your life, like a disorder. I have collected everything from stones, sea shells, pencil dust, buttons, bottle caps etc but these days I just have my crafty things like my rubber stamps of 8000 pieces and scrapbooking design papers (thats kind of an obsession) and I also have 358 Copic Sketch markers and a lot of other things to make cards. I used to make a lot of cards but I have been to sick for some years but now that I feel better I also had to reorganize my collections and purge a lot, but also kept (too) much. It's my hobby and as I don't have a job because of health issues I'm so happy I havve a lot. I could make a card the next 15 years or so using only different stamps and embellishments, it's kind of crazy, but I feel it's also thearapy for me and thats why I think of it as collection instead of obsessions.

[@livelife365]

awesome stuff

[@CustardCream33]

Nice house mike!

[@livelife365]

Thanks!

[@astrumdeus7098]

Do keep every book you buy? Or do you get rid of them from time to time?

[@stephaniealaia769]

This is interesting video! I like it especially the turtles 🐢 and my sister would appreciate the books 📕 📖 📚 she loves to read and she’s a writer too

[@livelife365]

thanks, reading rocks

[@gilmourwaters]

I e always been obsessed with music since childhood. Concerts were an addiction especially through the late 70s to mid 90s…. My “wall of music” is my zen. Albums / CDs and live concert dvds abound! A special emphasis for Pink Floyd / RUSH / YES / The Stones and Zeppelin headline my collection

[@livelife365]

those are some good bands

[@wearethechampions6251]

I like collecting all the books that I read, I see them as a trophy. Because I really don't like to read that much. My collection of books is only a 3rd the size of yours.

[@livelife365]

reading is my everyday obsession and passion

[@aserioussalamander9475]

Charles Darwin was a collector and an obessor. He turned out okay.

[@livelife365]

i will take it

[@artmak818]

“Books, books, books…” Do you have any books on “making better omelettes”?

[@livelife365]

[@mikiemendoza3893]

[@MikeFrench101]

No ninja turtles? I think my obsession is drinking wine also, I buy Xbox games that are on sale. I have probably a dozen that I haven't ever played

[@livelife365]

man i love wine

[@j4n1965]

Yours is a collection, hers is an obsession ;) Nah kidding, who cares if it's an obsession or a collection? Just do what makes you happy, you're hurting no one with your collection/obsession :) BTW I always thought you were living on Hawaii....

[@livelife365]

good point, and, no, i wish i lived there...way expensive

[@j4n1965]

@@livelife365 I wish I'd live there too... I'm from the wet and cold Netherlands... You actually have nothing to complain ;-)

[@livelife365]

[@chorton38305]

For Pete's sake Mike, back that camera out of your face! You are waaayy inside my comfort zone and I don't enjoy looking up your nose. It makes it very uncomfortable trying to watch your videos.

[@livelife365]

calm down
