Observations

I kind of just wanted to talk to you guys a little about something. Some things I have observed over my kinztube life that I wish to share with you.

I feel there is a real sense of segregation with Kinztubers, not in the sense that people can’t be friends, but in other senses, like opinion, and especially, money. I, myself, have never really told you guys what I’m about to tell you now, because I’ve always tried to be positive and ignore it, but I must tell you guys. I’m not at all rich. My parents are very strict, and money isn’t something my family can just throw around. We spend money on experiences, and hobbies to improve our lives, and make something of them, because we have to think before we spend, and sometimes I get annoyed when I see people on kinztube just throwing their money around.

Now, I understand, of course, that they, mostly, get the money themselves, and can spend it on what they want, but sometimes I stand back and think when I see 11 year olds with $80 in their hands every week, spending it on more useless junk! I know you guys are probably like, “Well you’re a webkinz collector, you’ve obviously spent money on stuff like us too”, but I’ve never spent more than £30 on a webkinz at all, and I buy them very rarely now, and it just annoys me so much.

Being an editor, I know how much it takes to get known and be recognised for your talents. After years of practising and perfecting I finally got to a point where I can say “Yeah, people know who I am”, and be proud of it. But I just can’t help but think that people are just buying their way to fame by purchasing webkinz after webkinz after webkinz, and flashing their money around. Don’t get me wrong, if I had the money I’d buy my favourite rare webkinz now and then, but there is a point where it is just too much. A point where you have multiples of everything, and just don’t know when to say enough is enough.

Anyway. I just needed to get that out.

Please don’t hate.
