Leisurely Chosen Activity

in Steem Sri Lanka9 days ago

This thing started when I was in my primary school. Back in days, I had finished the scholarship exam the previous year and still had not selected to a school to continue from grade 6. But I didn't like staying at home.

I went to my primary school, not to study, but to roam here and there, and kill time with others. Especially the clerk of the office was friend with me. I mostly liked spending time with her and spent weeks there.

During that time, one day, there were bundles of letters left on a table those were received by the school. They were the applications for grade 1. The letter covers were to dispose and out of nowhere I wanted to get the stamps out of the letter covers.

I think I spent a day or two at school unsticking them. That's when I liked the act of collecting stamps at first. After that I continously tried to collect a few even though they were not compared to the load of stamps I received back then from the school office.

Stamp collecting is a popular hobby enjoyed by people of all ages around the world. It involves collecting postage stamps from various countries, often focusing on specific themes, such as historical events, famous people, or unique designs. There were a few I liked the most too according to their uniqeness.

It took me years to organize them in an album

Some collectors also seek rare or limited-edition stamps, which can hold significant value.

One of the most exciting aspects of stamp collecting is the variety it offers. Stamps come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors, and they often feature beautiful artwork or interesting historical references. The hobby can also become educational.

Many collectors use albums, mounts, and catalogs to carefully store their stamps and keep track of their collection. I have a stamp album for myself, and also for me, organizing them in my stamp book is another preferable thing I enjoy doing.
