here’s to the kids that use fictional characters as a way of coping. here’s to the kids that stay up late crying to their favourite characters. here’s to the kids that imagine their favourite character by their side when they’re experiencing bad anxiety in public. here’s to the kids that need works of fiction to keep on surviving.

heres to the adults who struggle with the idea that “imaginary friends” are for kids and something is wrong with them or that theyre too old to enjoy the media their favorite character is from. heres to adults who are kept together only by thinking of their favorite character telling them they will be okay. heres to adults who cook dinner for themselves but pretend its also for their favorite character. heres to adults who go out and live their adult lives scared anyone will ever find out they are in love with a cartoon.

heres to adults and kids and ANYONE who uses a character to get through the day. i am so glad you have something that comforts you and its a valid comfort no matter what. indulge yourself as much as you can, save 63783 pictures of your favorite character, write them letters, buy their clothes and wear them, draw you together!!! it is a simple comfort but an immensely pleasurable and effective one!!!
