Her obsession... well, she prefers to call it a "habit", but obsession could be used in the same context.

Ashling has always had a tough time dealing with stress and hate, and had an equally difficult time finding the happy moments she possessed. Her mother told her that every time she experienced something that brought her pleasure, to take a star (cut-out of paper) and stick it in a jar. Whenever you feel down and hopeless, her mother told her, open the jar and look through all the star cut-outs as a reminder that there is happiness still left in the world.

Now Ashling always has paper and a pair of scissors in tow with her, as not only does she use the paper stars to remind her of more pleasurable times, but also as a way to comfort herself. She will absentmindedly cut different shapes of stars whenever nervous or frightened, then quickly stuff them out of sight, as she's embarrassed by such a strange and peculiar habit. Regardless of what others think, though, Ashling is persistent in keeping up this obsess- sorry, "habit" as she'd rather me put it.
