Somewhat. Memorabilia, music, books, nothing too excessive.

I collect those little souvenir spoons you can get in souvenir shops. I have 3 racks and was working on my 4th when the virus hit.

My wife and I both are collectors, and display space in our condo can be a problem. We use most of the available horizontal space.

I collect travel touchstones. I like to find unique items that will remind me of our wonderful adventures.

After a lot of unexpected and spontaneous moving, in my younger years, I became a minimalist, and I really prefer it now.

I am not a collector, I have enough trouble being a borderline hoarder.

I use to collect and some how i always loose it. After living with my mother n law due to her being ill i noticed she collects everything and her house looks like 1 on hoarders. I never want to live that way again. Now i feel if u cant use it give it 2 someone who can.

If you mean someone who is kind, shares your values and with whom you get along without a lot of drama -- then, yes, soulmates exist.
