The worst decision i've ever made.

Fifteen years traded for 5 days.

Here's the story.

I remember getting my first star wars set, it was that droid battlepack must've been 2007 something. Since then my love for lego, especially star wars ignited. Since then on every birthday i only asked for lego, lego lego lego. My life was lego. Always bullied at school but when i got home i forgot about all that. Lego was waiting there. I was a little bit of a spoiled kid, random days after school we drove to the toystore and i could pick a small set out. The love for lego stayed, 12 passed, 14, 16, 18. The older i got, i got into the creator expert buildings too.

But then 19, early 20s came along. Started working fulltime. Met people, met friends. Weekends were for going out, partying, always, every weekend. Interest in lego dwindled. Age 22 came and lost my job at the time. Came into a real rough spot financially. In that time my friendgroup at the time were planning a trip. Me, not wanting to show i was struggling and for being afraid id loose my friendgroup i agreed to join.

There and then i made the worst decision ever. I sold all of it. My star wars, the expert sets. And the dumbest thing of it all, i sold it for peanuts. I recently checked and 1 set alone, was worth almost the same amount that i sold it all for. 15 years of my life sold for a quick dumb drunk trip. The one good thing was that it went to a young kid with a mother on her own.

Now that im 25, and recently had scraped enough together to purchased a new set and my love for lego reignited i realise how stupid i was. With tears in my eyes i write this. I've sold memories and time. Rebuying that what i have lost, is impossible.

I've learned a hard and an expensive lesson.
