I'm an only child who often found solace in conversations with my stuffed animals. While my parents were frequently away, leaving me home alone, I would spend hours lost in painting, creating worlds where my only companions were my beloved toys. As an introvert with a love for storytelling, I found comfort in their silent presence. Though they may not be alive, my stuffed animals always know the latest gossip from school, and in their company, I never felt truly alone.
