Hobbies are something that many people do and it gives us mental freedom. A hobby is really something that we are motivated to relieve our stress. Some hobbies give us monetary or economic value. Some of these hobbies are collecting coins, collecting old clothes, growing crops, and photography.
As a hobby I do many things but I have been collecting stamps since I was 5 years old. We were told at school that everyone should have a hobby so I was not one to run around and play so I chose stamp collecting. It was my mother who first bought me the stamp book, and our mother has been making stamps since childhood. But now that is not my only hobby, I also do things like listening to songs, traveling, writing blog posts, and coding. After 8 years, I picked up the stamp book today. I don't have enough time to do hobbies with my job.
These are some of the stamps in my stamp collection, some of them I can't even find now. But I did not go to find the value of these stamps. I also have stamps from countries like Australia, America, Canada, Lebanon and India.

These are just a few stamps from my stamp collection. There are also stamps issued to commemorate the birthday of the Queen of England. Collecting stamps became very popular among us during school and we exchanged stamps with our friends. Now my favorite hobby is traveling but work has interfered with that. But whenever possible I travel to many places in Sri Lanka with my wife. And we don't forget to have adventure experiences. Although climbing is my favorite thing, Wafif does not like it. So entertainment is something we all do for mental freedom.
Finally, I would like to thank you @o1eh for holding such a contest.

The fact that you have not abandoned your childhood hobby deserves respect. I understand the photos only show a small part of your collection, but even that is impressive.
