parenting "i hate that trope of kids giving their favorite stuffed animal to a younger child as a sign of compassion and coming of age, as if this is something that should be expected of kids as they grow up [...] when parents are forcing you to "grow up" by tearing the only comfort in the world from you, they could actually be messing you up big time [...] anything it takes for you to feel okay and function in the world is okay. the world is literally on fire, and whatever gets you trough without being self destructive or self sabotaging is a good thing. who gives a shit if you're 30 and sleep with a stuffed animal?"
