For example:

Recently I discarded all of the Harry Potter movies that I've had in my collection. I had the mainline ones and two of the three Fantastic Beasts films. But, as much as I have liked the visual representation of what the films projected, I didn't feel that they were faithful adaptations. Because they changed too much for my liking.

Instead, I prefer the books because they do have better character representation than the uneven scaling of how the characters are in the movies. That's what I found important than anything else between book and film. If anyone were to ask me as to what exactly is the best way to get into Harry Potter, I would say the books, because they're going to get mislead by what the movies project. Is it the best optimal experience of the universe established.

I'm not sure what your question is, I think this is a rant in disguise

In general, if I don't feel like dusting it, it goes to a thrift shop. That same sense of "don't wanna" also works with digital items ๐Ÿ’œ I also used to use Pinterest to organize my aesthetics, but I hear it's been overrun by slop. Now I just have tons of bookmarks organized in folders.

I always have plans to curate, organize, display, etc...

Never happens.
