some of my freinds understand it some dont but anyway, i have a thing about collecting plushies or dolls. mostly spooky or monster ones though like the skeleanimals and pooka the goblin cat and i have a cthulu plushie too. 9the black and orange halloween one.
but i've always believed that dolls are more than just little toys we have that we setup on display to look at. i think about things like voodoo practice in which dolls are used as a targeted avatar or statuary where idols are found because idols are after all, a type of doll.
recently between my ex having her breast cancer scare and my mom with her operation, i've been under a lot of mental fatigue so ive gotten accustomed to sleeping with my sally monkey doll (shes the monkey skeleanimal ive got the pink one) and i hug my pooka from time to time too.
when i went to visit my mom in the hospital before bringing h rhome, i grabbed her an emporer penguin plushie fromt eh gift shop and told her it was so someone could be there with her in case i was late or couldnt make it down to see her and she says it helped. since shes been home, kevin, what shenamed him, hasnt left her bedside.
i believe dolls can be a very dependable silent friend when there's noone else to turn to personally. but some of my friends think they're just toys.
what about you?
