Donโt get me wrong, I still donโt fully *get* age play as a thing- and itโs def not MY thing- but taking IDโs at the littleโs group reading corner has been p eye-opening cause like. Thereโs a lineup of adults who find soothing others and reading stories and directing games to be really calming and fills their need to be protective and directive, and another pile of adults who crave simplicity and safety and trust and honesty who are just here to blurt shit out and say whatever comes to mind without the self-consciousness or performative social conventions of adulthood or meeting otherโs expectations and like. Itโs kinda sweet. Just a group of folks letting go of the rules for a while to play pretend. A bunch of folks whoโve decided theyโd like to be themselves and enjoy life the way they want
