In the name of the moon, I'll be dead!
Today’s the day you see the words Sailor Moon and DEATH closely linked. Woohoo!
I don’t want to die, but until Neo Queen Serenity blesses us with her magic silver crystal, it’s just a fact of life. But if I can’t extend my own life, can I still extend the life of my fabulous anime collectibles?
Most people bequeath their precious trinkets to their children, but I don’t have those.

Childfree people face a unique challenge when it comes to deciding what to do with their possessions as they age, and I’m thinking about it too.
Studies show that childless people often end up leaving their possessions to friends, charities, or even strangers. But I really don’t think Gen Beta or Gamma is going to want my treasure trove of plastic kawaii anime figures. They might see my collection as nothing more than clutter, the same way we now see Beanie Babies or Hummel figurines (sorry grandma).
So knowing that my philosophy is “children deserve parents who enthusiastically want to be parents,” I personally deserve friends who ENTHUSIASTICALLY want to take my collectibles. Hint hint- but don’t come after me yet.
Fifty years down the road, my Millennial & Gen-Z friends may be the only other people who appreciate the nostalgic value of my (albeit amazingly) curated moonie collection, but by then they’ll need expendable cash for their adult diapers and a sexy robot home assistant.
I guess this is your informal invite to my collection selling party in 2068.

If you’re looking for real advice, you might want to look into making a will or trust, appointing an executor, or even gifting certain items to friends and loved ones while you’re still alive. This ensures that your possessions are handled according to your wishes and that your legacy lives on in a way that is meaningful to you.
In the end, it is important to remember that possessions are just material items that don’t define a person's life (but in my case, it certainly defines my social media!).
Now, just make sure you delete my search history and destroy the hentai statues.
