The Emotional Collector style archetype
Objects chosen for meaning, memory and story
The essence
Nothing in your world is only a thing. A ring worn to a particular dinner, a scarf bought in a city you loved, a watch handed across a table — each object carries a person and a moment inside it. You choose what you can feel something about, and you keep it long past the season in which it was bought.
