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.
There is nothing wrong with any of that. Go be your own person, not who society says you should be. What's wrong with being childish? I played with lego today and i'm nearly 24!
Thanks for this!
