might make a longer continuation post abt this. i love big bird. like im just completely enamored with him. hes been a real pillar of comfort for me during this season as ive been experiencing some pretty intense trauma memories. im tempted to write about those when i feel less intensely about them, but i also dont know if thats too much ykwim? my mom commissioned someone to crochet a large big bird plush while she was going through a hard time, wont get into it bc it's her business, but she's passed him down to me to aid in healing my ""inner child"" (air quotes bc it's a lot more complex and to call the circumstance inner child work feels almost trivializing, iykyk). i love him. i sleep with him every night and often carry him around the house. i would bring him to school but im worried i'd accidentally forget him or someone would steal him (im honestly rlly paranoid abt ppl stealing my shit, idk why). i leave him tucked under my fur blanket every day when i leave. trying to get my hands on a "follow that bird" DVD secondhand. might just end up watching it illegally.
(actually i just googled it as i wrote that out and it's apparently on crave? will check after school tomorrow)

Genuinely, this was so lovely to read. It's so important to find those childlike comforts in adulthood and so freeing once you start to embrace them. I've had my teddy by my side for the entirety of my life and he's been the one constant comfort, and I've started having nostalgia movie nights with my close friends.. Pixie Hollow and Barbie and everything in between. I'm glad you've found something safe to bring you comfort through rough times!!
that's awesome!! my friend's and i have also been revisiting some childhood fave movies lately (mainly HTTYD) and it's been so so comforting. indulging in nostalgia is just great. ive also been getting back into games i played as a kid, like animal jam.
teddies have always been of extreme importance to me and it's nice to hear someone shares a similar sentiment!! thank you for the kind words it means a lot, truly :)

I'll be completely honest, I still need to watch HTTYD. I'm sure I watched it at some point but I remember absolutely nothing and I know how massively special it is to people. I've put it on the movie night wheel haha.
Yeah I just recently got a tattoo of Fluffy and I couldn't be happier with it. He used to have a red ribbon which fell off a couple of years ago (I still have it though thankfully, I just don't want to sew it back on in case it falls off again and I actually lose it that time so it sits in a trinket box) and when I got my tattoo my sister got a little red ribbon tattooed on her finger as a sibling thing and I still get emotional thinking about it ;w;
