Of course, I don't know anything about this really. But lately, in particular, I've developed a strong desire to be "little". I don't even know exactly what that means. And I really don't have much in the way of ideas as to how to be "little" at my age either.
If I was senile I guess I would do things young children do and my spouse and pdoc (the only people I interact with) would simply chalk it up to senility and I wouldn't care or know the difference. But, although I do experience some symptoms typically associated with what is referred to as "sundown syndrome", otherwise I'm not senile (at least not yet.)
So while internally I have this longing to be "little", outwardly I still struggle to maintain some semblance of maturity. Perhaps it's simply a reaction to stress and anxiety. There's so much violence all around us day-in and day-out (especially where I live.) Plus there's still the pandemic and the isolation it imposes. Perhaps it all just makes one (me in particular) want to regress? Maybe you too?
