Why I joined the Tarantula Hobby

I impulsed bought nurmi so I unintentionally joined, my goal species is either H.Maculata or P.Regalis. I've been taking care of inverts(insects specifically) for 7 years, I had hardcore arachnophobia, Just seeing a silhouette would send me crying, I eventually got over their existence but their large eyes still bothered me, wolf spiders were my enemy BUT THEN I SEEN JUMPING SPIDERS AND MY ARACHNOPHOBIA WAS CURED IN 0.1 SECONDS. Eventually I started not killing my house spiders(except that one time I killed a strange spider that was big as a spoon) my parents didn't want me keeping them so they bought me a robotic tarantula and first of all it did not last, it drained the batteries so quickly, fast forward and obviously no one tells me what to do so I kept two house spiders in a box, which escalated to my room, fast forward to last year I finally decided that I was going to get a spider to keep as a pet however I didn't want a tarantula so I looked for a K.Hibernalis and we will not speak about that poor service and a waste of my money✌ so I just decided that I'm not ordering inverts online, going onto February of 2018, I went to the white plains expo with the intention of getting my snakes some stuff or a scorpion, I had $180 with me and I was not leaving empty handed so I looked at a centipede and said no because they're escape artists and I do not have the patience for that so I bought Nurmi.
Counting all the roaches,hornworms,moth,house spiders and cellar spiders, I probably have 900+ inverts, only really own 20% of them.

but yeah, maculata and regalis are my goal species.
