weird relationship with my collection?

hi everyone! i have somewhat of a question and discussion im wondering if anyone else has experienced/is experiencing.

I grew up with monster high and was a fan since its early release. Now that I am older, i collect the dolls for my enjoyment and nostalgia. however, since collecting, i’ve had this kind of confusion with the dolls? i love looking at them and posing them, but i also want to play with them? but every time i try it doesnt feel as fun as i imagine it to be before I play with them.

i’m sorry if this doesn’t make much since, im just wondering if anyone else feels this way. Either way i will collect, but it makes me feel like I actually want to use the dolls more than just display them.
