does anyone else just only run around collecting stuff

I don't mean like important things either I just swim through the rivers and stuff and collect fish. Most of my inventory is like various flowers and herbs, bugs, and different ore. I wear the best armor I can find at my level and have the blessing that let's you carry more weight just so I can pick up more flowers and eggs. At one point I had like over 60 of those red flowers you can get and i didnt even get rid of them i just kept collecting them. I also get a lot of gems but I just use those to make jewelry that will allow me to carry more (I have a mod that let's me equip 10 rings).
