reminder that,, being a permakid might feel kinda bad sometimes, we might um, feel sad because society tells you you're supposed to grow up and be big and adulting and all that and get mean towards us for something we can't control,
but it's okay. it's fine to be you. it's who you are, and you should never be ashamed of being who you are.
we might be more sensitive, emotional,, not be able to deal with a lot of things that people with an older mental age can,, but.
we also have a ton of stuff that they don't. good, happy things! the endless whimsy and joy in how we see the world, the happy stims, the fun of playing pretend, the bonds and deep love we share for our plushie friends and comfort items, our bouncy outlook on life and the joy and childish perspective we never lost. our sheer comfort and happiness for simple things like coloring books or cartoons depending on your mental age.
we're really cool and awesome in our own ways. it isn't all bad, at all. even if we got here by trauma and neurodivergency a lot of the times, we're really cool. <3 and if youre a permaregressor or permakid reading this, i think youre really really awesome
