I made myself a sticker chart :3

I give myself a sticker whenever I do something hard. My first sticker was for spending 8 hours figuring out these two really hard assignments

I think once I've filled it all up I'll get myself a treat like a happy meal or some calico critters

caregiver helping a black age regressor through internalized racism

*caregiver is helping the little take a bath* "hey bubba, be careful, you're gonna hurt your skin" "I needs to get clean" "You only have to scrub a little to get clean, now you're gonna start tearing your skin" "no! I'm not clean enough yet. I needs to be clean like the pwetty girls on TV" "oh bubba," *picks you up and holds you* "you're not dirty, you're african and there are very many pretty girls on TV that look like you" "mmm... but they're not cared about like the clean girls" "bubba, all of those girls are clean and so are you. And yes sometimes people care more about the white girls but you don't have to worry about that because you'll always have me to care about you" "okay, mama... why can not people just care about all of us?" "because sometimes the world is mean and that's very sad but I'm here to protect you"

I weally hope one day I make a lotta money and cans have a whole nother room just for my regression stuff!!! there would be dinos on the walls and have a tent in it and a bunch of toys and I'd never have to put my toys away, they'd just always be out

shoutout to black age regressors that didn't get to be children bc their parents knew they wouldn't get to make the same mistakes that their white peers made who are now taking back the chance to be kids

you were never dangerous, you were just a kid ❤️

A caregiver that comforts you when you're too picky to eat what they made for you.

They take put care into your snack time, making you grilled cheese, with milk and grapes and they took the time to take the grapes off the stem so you wouldn't have to.

But when you're eating they notice you haven't touched the grapes

"what's wrong, I thought you loved grapes?"

"oh I'm sowwy, I do but when you take them off they get all squishy and icky and I... It's all icky I can't eat it"

"oh I'm sorry little one, don't worry I'll just get you more grapes that are still on the stem"

"but you put all that effort in and now it's going to waste"

"I put effort in so you can enjoy this meal, for you to have a bad time eating it would be putting my effort to just as much waste"

When I tell them I'm an age regressor and they say 'okay, cool' and not 'can I be your caregiver'

This probably isn't a new thought but regressor!Doofenschmirtz and caregiver!perry the platypus!!!

the phrase "good art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comforted" if often used when talking about gory art but I think it can also be applied to how some ppl are disturbed by soft and childish agere art when all it's meant to do is comfort those that need it and I think that's beautiful.

Remember those undies with the day of the week on them!!! I miss them, I wonder if they make them for adults

Age regressing while you're in asl class and doing animal signs is sooo fun. My favourite sign is turtle 🐢🐢🐢
