There are a lot of sides of me you donāt necessarily see behind the camera. This is definitely one of them.
Give me a mystery box, a Funko Pop, a convention, Disney, anime, Nintendo, Wonder Womanāor basically anything collectibleāand Iām probably going to want it.
This summer brought Funko Fun Days, ridiculous lines, a sunburn or two, ThrillJoy, unexpectedly getting into Comic-Con, way too much shopping, and meeting so many people who love the same things I do. My daughter even made sure I came home with a few pins I had my eye on.
Somewhere in all of it, I was reminded that these arenāt things I need to āoutgrow.ā Theyāre just another part of who I am. And honestly, itās the little things like this that make me happy.
Do I need another collectible? Absolutely not.
Am I still going to open the mystery box? Absolutely. š
The girl behind the camera is also very much the girl behind the geek.
