Hit 27 garden gnomes in my shed last weekend and had an existential crisis

I was moving stuff around to get to my winter tires, and I actually STOPPED to count how many gnomes I've crammed in there over the years. Turns out it's exactly 27, which is way more than any sane person needs. They're from garage sales, gifts from my aunt, and one I found behind a dumpster that I felt bad for. Has anyone else ever just tallied up some random collection in their backyard storage and gotten a number that shocked them?

27 gnomes is rookie numbers. You're only having an existential crisis because you haven't committed to the bit yet. Get a few more and arrange them into a meaningful formation, then you've got a real conversation starter.

Wait, is that actually the key to peace of mind (or at least a good story)? @emma_wells83 you might be onto something, I used to think the crisis meant you'd gone too far, but maybe the real problem is not leaning harder into it.

Double down and watch the chaos unfold honestly.
