I think you're probably right.
My precise thought on giving up pink and yellow was that it's been a year now since Daddy died, and I don't need to wear pink and yellow. My enthusiasm for seventies dolls began and ended about the same time, although there were no thoughts associated with it. I think it was my way of mourning.
Maybe I'm obsessed with dolls when I need to comfort or indulge myself.
Maybe I'm obsessed with my garden when I'm not feeling comfortable with my home life. Perhaps I think that if I make my home beautiful, my life inside it will be beautiful.
And maybe I'm obsessed with sewing when I am feeling a need to create, or to control. Since with sewing you aren't constrained by what's available in the stores. In fact, that's usually what stimulates it.
Ok, I'm at a loss with the Star Trek enthusiasm. :)
You are very wise, Falls.
