#middlespace

This one’s for the regressors who feel stuck sometimes. The ones who say,

“I’m too old to be little,”

“I’m not little enough to belong,”

“I don’t fit in with tiny agere OR big kid spaces.”

I see you. I am you. And I promise, there is room for you right here. 🫶

Middlespace is weird sometimes. You might love stuff like:

• Writing fanfics and also cuddling a plushie

• Watching cartoons and reading long fantasy books

• Making rainbow bracelets while listening to sad music from 2012

• Wanting to be taken care of, but not babied

• Needing softness, but not needing diapers or bottles

You are not too much. You are not too little. You are just right. 💛

🌼 Middlespace isn’t a side effect. It’s a whole beautiful identity.

It’s the sleepover feelings, the mall food court vibes, the stickers on notebooks, the dramatic emotions, the need to cry and not know why. It’s okay.

💬 If you’ve been comparing yourself to others—pause. You’re not here to match them. You’re here to be YOU. You, with your playlists and plushies and big feelings and soft heart.

💚 Nostalgic Gir Moodboard 🌮

Halfway through making this, I realized this was barely an agere moodboard so...uh oh. This can just be a generic moodboard instead! Or even a middlespace board! A part of me has always wanted to make a middlespace blog anyway, I guess I was channeling that a bit here! Hope you like! Mother Nature loves you <3

An outdoorsy middle moodboard for anon!

You love being outside, but you really love going on camping trips with your caregiver or taking the day up a hiking trail!

You keep a nature journal where you write about cool things you see like neat bugs, interesting leaves, or cool birds. Sometimes you even sketch them, but you don't like to show anybody because you're kinda shy.
