Hello Drewbythestampguy (Drew), welcome!
Always good to have a social type of person collect stamps as a lot of stamp collectors are introverted a bit.
I have found that meeting other stamp collectors and helping out at shows and meetings is a great way to feel good by doing good and to make friends and learn a lot about stamps and how the whole stamp collecting thing thing works.
What's your blog's name or words that I can Google to find it since you are not allowed to post links to anything right away (50 posts / 2 weeks)?
Social media is such a powerful tool now and a lot of us (including me too probably) don't realize how much good can be done by it.
Well, just look at this forum for example. What a great place to share ideas, safely ask questions and post pictures and show our work. Amazing really. Where will it go next?
And collectors always collect, that's a given. Whether they have been exposed to stamps (probably less nowadays) or some other collectible, they find a combination of satisfaction, peace, calm, completing something, the excitement of the hunt and acquiring what you have worked for and usually a community of other collectors who are experiencing some of the same feelings and interests.
