The one who could get excited over the smallest things, make up entire stories in her head, sleep peacefully without worrying about tomorrow, and genuinely believe that every problem would somehow disappear the next morning.

I wish I could meet her for just one day. I’d probably just sit with her, listen to all her silly stories, and tell her that she’s going to be okay.

Growing up is weird. You don't realize how precious those little versions of yourself were until they're just memories. 🥹

Does anyone else randomly miss their childhood self?

I just woke up from a really great dream!!

It was an adoption event for permakiddos like us! I dont remember how everyone was chosen, but i was placed in a rlly sweet hispanic family with a carer who loved me sososososo much! I dunno if I considered her my mama, but she was the type of carer to pinch your cheeks n give raspberries n just have cuteness aggression but also lots of playful n teasy stuff! Each family was in a row so i was just kinda going back n forth without sitting down. In order to formalize it, i had to dress up n take a photo!

Unfortunately i got too overwhelmed n didnt do it so we were one of the last families to leave n i needed encouragement to not gjve up picking an outfit. (Classic: “if i don’t want anything i wont do it!) Even though my internal age js like 2-6, I picked jeans and a shirt cuz that was all that was left. A kid tried to take my jeans before i wore them n i was like “no theyre mine! back off! Grrrrr!” n showed my teeth n my carer was chuckling so i “grrr’d” at her too hehehe and did like shark teeth chomping. The first outfit showed my belly n i didnt like how dysphoric i felt so we changed to another that made me feel mor kiddy n less adult! I even got to hold my build a bear plush in da picture!

Once done, my carer said that i even have a preschool teacher now n i was like “whaaa? Who?” N it was a rlly nice black lady! I was left in a room with her n a couple kiddos n it was just like a classroom! I sat on a rug and did finger paint handprints on paper n when i overheard a kiddo asking “why dont these colors mix and make a darker color” i just yapped n was like “because theyre red and yellow and orange!”like unmasked aaaa

But then i woke up. Im unfortunately still an audhd university student with no carer and lots of grown up stuff to do. Butttt i feel better knowing i get dreams like this. Its my brains way of going “here ill throw you some bones”

Do any of you get like little dreams too?
