Dove is here with me in bed!...
Dove is here with me in bed! We’re going to watch a movie or two on Netflix together. She looks pretty excited to me! I didn’t take any pictures, but she was on the Christmas display table for a bit. I’m glad to have her hanging out with me. She’s one of my special dolls.
Without going too much into detail, depression has really been kicking my butt. I miss my dolls so much. So, instead of missing them, why not just take one out so they can hang out? Makes more sense! Sometimes, interacting with my dolls feels like a high energy task, but it doesn’t have to be. We can just be in our PJs and watch a movie together.
I’m not the only adult that hangs out with their dolls in their bed, right? …Right?
Definitely not the only one! Dolls are great company. And usually when I’m working on a craft for a particular doll, I like to stand them up nearby and let them “watch” me work.
Hugging a doll as an adult is totally underrated. They’re sort of like a person, but they don’t give unsolicited “advice”, and they don’t get tired of being there for you or accuse you of bringing them down. Perfect for an introvert, especially.
