I recently turned 26, and, while I had fun celebrating my birthday in Ocean City, I had some emotional moments, too. There was nothing I wanted to do more than simply allow myself to regress. Thankfully, my mom knew exactly what her baby needed to feel better. She gave me my Shadow plushie, draped a blanket over me and soothed me to sleep. At that moment, I felt like a little girl again.
That being said, I think everyone needs to feel small every now and again. So many of us go through life taking the burnt of it all without ever having a way to be able to let go of it all. This is your sign to know it's okay to be vulnerable and allow yourself to be taken care of. I see you, and I am proud of you.
