I know I've been starting a lot of new threads lately, sorry if it's annoying. I just have been thinking about this lately and cannot convince myself that it's normal. I'm 16 years old and still really like stuffed animals. I even am going to go make one at the Build A Bear workshop. I asked on Yahoo! Answers if this was "normal" and several people my age said yes, it is. Still, I cannot convince myself that it's "ok". I feel like I missed out on stuff like this as a little kid - I miss my childhood. Sorry if this triggers. I know so many people my age that are reverting to their childhood as well - it's just something that happens as we grow up. It's like I get a comfort from surrounding myself with stuffed animals and things, I don't know. It's like I don't want to act like every other teenager out there, constantly on their cell phone or computer. How does this sound to you? A part of me does want to be a little kid again but then another part is loving the newfound freedom that comes with being 16.
