<p>[QUOTE="Phoenix21, post: 296286, member: 7424"]My family has no interest, they try to help me out sometimes, but a lot of the time get annoyed with it. They tell me to enjoy life, and get interested in other things. Shouldn't just close my mind around this one thing. Partly right, and partly wrong. This hobby is actually one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. I am not only having fun with it, I am learning a lot about history, dates, etc. This hobby actually is my outlet. This one hobby opens up a bunch of other hobbies, which a lot of people don't understand. I get weird looks and some things muttered under there breath when I talk about some of my recent buys and what I hope to buy. It is honestly to the point I get called off here and all to "do" something, when actually they might not realise it, but they are trying to break me from this hobby. Which I have no intentions on doing anytime soon, if ever. The plain fact to it all is people just plain out don't understand it, and are ignorant to this area. But, I can't really put them down, cause I don't understand why most people will spend a lot of money on things, reason being, I just don't understand it. But my thought would be is don't knock it, unless you understand it. I am proud to have been exposed to this hobby, and am proud that I found this forum to discuss and share my passion with others that share this hobby. Sorry if I sound like I am rambling and going on and on, just something I wanted to say and all. Not really anything is going to seperate me from this hobby, Phoenix is probably going to be in this till the end. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
