The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy,
So I am done with Lego for the foreseeable future. After a few years of building, collecting, storing and reading about Lego, I just don’t have that much fun with it any more. There was a period for a few months where I really thought of it far more as an obligation than as a hobby, and since there’s honestly no reason at all for me to be doing it, that hardly makes sense at all. So I packed everything up, finished up the sets I had mostly completed, and stuck it all in the back of my closet. I’m still not sure what the permanent solution is — I might sell them, or I might just hold onto them as a gift for my children when I die or something.
