Should I make a full post- or- I have 2-3 posts I have to do first, but I’d love to post about him eventually

it's okay if that nostalgia makes you sad

a lot of what I really enjoyed in my actual childhood makes me sad/upset now, I don't have an exact reason but it just isn't the same anymore and that's okay

your inner child just needs something else, something new and fresh, and that's okay

change is okay and you're so strong, give yourself the time and comfort that works for you now

I don't even know if I should be saying it's a trait?

For me it feels like I'm unmasking and even when I'm not regressed I still do/enjoy childlike things.

oh………,,,,,,, ok
