I seldom get emotional when watching the news, but when I see a child hugging a stuffed animal in a warzone, or when you see a dirty stuffed animal in on the ground after an attack, that really stings.
Stuffed animals are symbols of innocence, love and security.
I am a 37 year old man, I have my childhood stuffed animals on a chest of drawers next to my bed, and my stuffed toad I got from my mom and have had my entire life is in the top 5 items I would try to save from a fire.
Naw, cute!
While I don't have an stuffed animal, I do have an mood pillow that I stitched and fixed for over 20y now. I can't sleep without it, it's part of me
We have a moose that goes on trips with us. I recently made a tiny 3D printed version that we call his "drones". They go on the bike rides, hikes, etc.
I also have a stuffed beanbag frog/toad called "Fleagle" from when I was a toddler and I keep it in my nightstand. It's the only thing I still have from back then and I feel that same way.
