Disclaimer: you might think otherwise after reading this post, but I am most definitely not a 5 year old child. no.
I wanted you for the longest time.
Your soft fur,
Your floppy ears.
And those floppy feet.
But maybe mainly because Nayeon had one of your brothers,
And gave Jisoo another one of your siblings.
I wanted you for the longest time,
But you were far too expensive.
I had let rationality cloud my emotional needs.
Why would an (almost) grown ass adult need a plushy designed for babies?
But a month ago,
When I saw you and your siblings sitting in the corner of that empty shop,
I’m not sure if what I heard were your calls for me to bring you home
Or the cries of my heart having wanted you.
I walked straight towards you and didn’t hesitate to gently grab you off the shelf.
Because screw rationality. Screw it all.
Because I am a grown ass adult who can do as she likes.
Because its 2020 and you’re gonna be one of the biggest reasons I love 2020.
I’m telling you this from experience: if you buy a new one every year you’ll get run out of house and home!
I love pigs. Stuffed, ceramic, what-the-heck-ever. Because people never know what books to buy me they would buy my piggie objects for my birthday and holidays. Soon, I was OVERRUN. Every few years I would pick my favorites (Blink, who started my collection, Wink who my best friend at the time gave me when I was in and out of the hospital for two years in my teen years, Sullen who I bought for myself when I first moved out) and haul the rest to church and give to kiddos.
Now, I don’t accept them as presents (or I do and give them away immediately–if you were really my friend you would know that I don’t accept pigs from others anymore, so I dont feel obligated to keep them). I buy them for myself at big or life changing or moments that I really want to remember.
So I have the ones from above, another when I turned 30, another when I moved to CO, another that was a big life moment. I do have a piggy bank (Pigacorn). Whereas before I had so many pigs that they didn’t really mean anything. Now, each pig I can look at and know the rhyme, the reason and the place it came to join my little pigfarm.
(i love the names you’ve given your piggies!) but thanks isa for the advise! i’m better off keeping this obsession hidden then i guess. come to think of it people are still buying me heaps of snoopy things from my obsession 9 years ago
but you should probably make clear that you love that specific bunny and dont expect to get bunny or stuffed animal gifts from now until eternity specifically.
funny though I wasn’t into stuffed toys as a child, but starting uni’ and being adulting journey I started to understand their appeal.

you shouldn’t hide your love for your bunny
but you should probably make clear that you love that specific bunny and dont expect to get bunny or stuffed animal gifts from now until eternity specifically.
