I've been striving to cope with some emotions over this past week. Emotions that, for me, make me wish I could be just like So Soft Newborn Baby Spike here. As I have been unable to indulge in much with regard to this particular coping mechanism I took inspiration from various sources over the week to think out how nice it would be to be little.

Have you ever had one of those days where you just wish you could toss asunder all the worries and responsibilities of being an adult and just live in gleeful untainted innocence?

Keeping with my theme for the week of simplifying my life, reorganizing my priorities, and knowing that sometimes a fresh start is all one needs to get to where they need to go.
I like Yoshies and this one is cute. So this helps me get into my happy / simple space so I can get centered to focus on what I need to do in order to better myself and my family.

It's sometimes hard to find one's direction when so many other things are going on around them. This picture exemplifies that for me.
You're up while knowing there are responsibilities to be handled as many wildcards come into play. Sometimes it is so many that you just don't know where or how to start.
In cases like this you feel more like being the little orange Yoshi in the right hand corner instead of the grown up who knows there's so much to do, not enough time to do it, and how you just don't know what will happen next, how it will impact you, your family, or the ones you love.

With so much uncertainty in the world wouldn't it be nice to simply go back to when complexity and hardship were not known at all?
To be able to just know you are loved and appreciated for who you are instead of worrying about whose going to let you down next, stab in you the back, take advantage of you, or put you down for not being like everyone else?
When the simplest of achievements made you receive so much praise as opposed to working your butt off in the mere hope that something positive comes of it?
Growing up shouldn't mean being cast asunder. It shouldn't mean being different alienates you or stereotypes you as something derogatory. Where sharing your feelings is seen as weakness and seeking mental health makes one appear dangerous or unstable.
Oh to know how wonderful it would be if love, tolerance, empowerment, and understanding went beyond the early childhood years. The world would be such a better place if only we'd be able to trust, care, and look out for more than just our own perception of what should be.

It's a cloth diaper in which is actually part of Spike's body. The only exception are the cute frills that flip up at the top of the diaper itself. :)
The animated image you see at the beginning and end of the commercial truly give you the best perspective on the toy itself.

*Giggles* That's part of why I used this image to share the week's worth of thoughts I did on how it would feel to be little. :)
You can maybe ask your family or friends in the US to help get you a Baby Spike. It's not hard to find them.
Here's some great links from a company who truly knows customer service above and beyond.

I'd be lying if I didn't feel all cute and cuddly looking all this up. I love bright, soft, colorful things. Especially Spikey-Wikey. :)

Thank you. The pic was fun to capture from the commercial while putting thoughts to it, and others, helped me to express feelings I've had over an emotional week. :)
Feelings and emotions are best shared and not bottled up. Sharing them creatively is a wonderful way to get them out, too. :)

Gosh i'm sorry I've bothered you while you've been going through so much. *hugs*
I wish you could just have some little time for yourself. For me that's i guess not so much something i worry about having. As it isn't something I've ever properly achieved. I can listen to children's music or watch children's movies or curl up with a plushy and that all feels nice. but i don't feel "little" persay. Just a really silly adult.
I use to have little moments, but they weren't exactly triggered in the way of trying to be little. They sorta just came out. For the longest time i felt like a kid just pretending to be an adult. I didn't feel like could ever cope with real life or function as an adult. I use to go into stores see something i liked and get excited, flapping my hands about eagerly. But i do things like that anymore. I get to the grocery store, i feel exhuasted just being there, i buy what i need and leave. I feel very adult anymore. But i also don't generally feel like i'm missing anything.
I have a spike plushy btw, mine's the one they were selling at build a bear for awhile: http://www.buildabear.com/ProductIm...../XL/20425x.jpg
he may not have a diaper or sounds but he is soft and cuddly. ^^

Soft and cuddly are always big wins. Did you also get the Princess Twilight plushie to go with Spike? Or did you just get Spikey-Wikey?
When my stress levels are high I desire greatly to be little. Though when I feel I'm in control of things I am okay being an adult. It all depends on the amount of anxiety, stress, or depression I'm feeling at a given time.
One of the things I've learned via therapy is how a lot of my desire to be little comes from how in control of my life I am. I often have to rely on people due to my disability and often feel at the mercy of my condition and other factors that are beyond my control. The way I see it is that if I have to surrender control I'd rather surrender it as a little would instead of being what feels like a near useless adult. *Shrugs*

Just Spike, not really a twilight fan, my favorite Pony atm is Applejack, also Applebloom.
That makes sense. I can understand how feeling stressed or anxious about something would make you want something comfort. I guess for me that's just not being little anymore.
I use to feel like that part about not being in control, but i guess i realized that even with some difficulties i can still be in control in certain ways. Meeting
actually helped me a lot as he taught me a lot about how to learn to be Neuro-Typical. I like that word instead of normal, because i just don't think normal is a thing. I know that being in control must be much more difficult with what you go through, and i'm sorry. *hugs*
Here's a good Song that might be inspiring for when you're feeling little btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBnaJOuuIMg

That is a wonderful song. *Hugs* I loved the 2nd Care Bears movie. They did a wonderful job in showing so much with just one feature film.
My sister and I actually used to watch that movie together when we were younger. It was good times. I bought it as a memoir of those times. I have it and the original Care Bears movie both on DVD.
I'm so happy you have found a great way to cope with what trials befall you or your mate. I've tried for so many years to not be a little but I have yet to find a successful way to replace it. The closest I come is when I'm being positively productive and that is often hard to achieve. At least to the level I'd need it to in order to properly replace being little as a coping mechanism.
Thanks so much for sharing the song with me. It made me smile. :)

Aww i really wanna own that movie and the 1st one both on dvd. My brother and i were never close sadly. we were born 10 years apart for one thing, but we also both grew up in different foster homes, so we didn't live to close for visiting anyways. As the years went our interests seemed to be further and further apart anyways, as i seemed to be interested in more innocent things like cartoons and plushies, and my brother took to drugs and violence. :c
But also i don't think life is like that. Sometimes people try to hard to find the thing that they need like love, or a way to not be little, but i don't think life is more like this things where things fall into your lap when you truly need them, and you didn't really know they were gonna happen like that at all.Like how i didn't know i'd meet Sesame, completely by chance.
But in the end it doesn't matter if you're little or not. It's just what works for you. You shouldn't feel bad about wanting to be little. And maybe one day there will be more answers to it, but also maybe there won't be, life is complicated like that. I think you should be proud of who you are though, as i feel you are a very sweet and inspiring person to talk to and be friends with. ^^

Thanks, Lucca. I greatly appreciate your perspective as it definitely gives me more to positively think about.
It saddens me to hear how your brother took to coping in such dire ways. If you ever do hear from him I hope you find he has discovered a healthier path.
My sister has benefited from me being the leader when it comes to our condition. We were born three years apart so I paved the way as the test for those who had no clue how to deal with someone like us. After doctors, teachers, etc. got a taste of me they were better prepared for her. There are days I am jealous of this as she doesn't need therapy or take anti psychotics. She has also managed to hold a steady job for well over five years where surgeries and bullying have barely let me do a year of consecutive work.
For us our coin varies in how I try to find friends and fun where I can. That's why I'm here as much as I reasonably can be. Being an FA'er helps me cope while making me feel less lonely since I have no friends or family where I live. My sister still lives in our home town but seems to be happy just going to work, coming home, loving her dog, sharing a few words with her husband, and going to bed. I know she could have friends since lots of folks we knew growing up are still in our home town. But as long as she's happy. :)
You just never know where life will take you and what it will do to you. The one thing you can count on is true friends, family, and never forgetting what does make you lovable and special. :)
