Everybody has a collection of something. but sometimes, It's not what you'd expect. And sometimes its just ironic. Say for example,my name is Jade, and I collect random pieces of quartz.

To add to my entry at #43:
I collect studio pottery, but that isn't the weird part. I have a collection of really bad amateur pottery pieces, stuff that most people would put straight into the bin. I find them mostly in charity shops and car boot sales, and they range from pieces made by school kids to hobby potters.
Despite their lack of quality they have a charm all of their own. A lot of them would have been made at school and been kept, either by the maker of parents, etc, for many years before a clear-cut saw them consigned to a box to be sent to a charity shop or put on a stall with other unwanted items at a boot sale.
I've found many pieces in boxed lots of good studio pottery at auctions, too, suggesting that someone was proud enough of their effort to give it to a serious collector - probably a family member - who has accepted it in the spirit intended and added it to their own collection of 'real' pottery. Most of these auction finds are from house-clearance lots, which usually means that the owners have passed away and the families have cleared out their houses and are selling the stuff they don't want. It is also clear from the accumulation of dust and grime in the hard to reach parts of the pots that some of them have been kept for decades. It also helps that some have a date inscribed in the bottom along with the makers' initials and sometimes what is most probably the kids' class 'code', so one example, an unusable, chunky, but interestingly decorated mug has 'JW 4RS Feb 56' underneath, which tells me the kid's initials, that he was a fourth year pupil (14-15 yes) and made it in Feb 1956.

I collect little objects that people have given me (or that I took) after I end our friendship. I keep all the objects behind a little painting in my room.

I suspect I am not alone here....
I collect stray emotions that their owners are not of a mind to take responsibility or be accountable for once they have released them.
Sadly, but not unexpectedly, in many, perhaps most, environments the yucky ones are the ones left floating about. I am grateful whenever I encounter any based in creation, unity, or peacefulness.
It is not voluntary.
I hope that a few readers here will reflect on the consequences of this.
Thanks to some very special people in my life, I am able to function at least some of the time anyway. I am forever grateful to you.
