The little urge to go to a zoo or an aquarium and look at all the pretty animals and fishies and have someone tie my shoes and open my snacks.

The little urge to feel completely comfortable being little and actually be treated like I’m just a tiny kid

The little urge to be pulled around in a little red wagon while I point at all the pretty flowers and say “woaaaahhh” like I’ve never seen it before (even though we just passed 10)

The little urge to be comfy enough to regress around a group of friends (but not leave my cg’s side because how scary would that be!)

The little urge to watch Bluey with my paci in after a long day with some much needed cuddles because it’s such hard work being just a little guy (trust.)

Basically, the little urge to be little

shout out to age regressors who don't watch typical agere content when regressing. i watch smosh. i watch friends. i love cartoons a lot but they're not my comfort media right now. i just wanna give a little shout out to age regressors who can relate to the vibe < 33

Artsy Agere Moodboard!!

This is very much self indulgent as I grew up an art kid and still am, tbh!! I’ve never done this before I’m sorry if it’s bad <\3

People hating on age regressors are funny like sorry you hate my childlike wonder I'm gonna keep shaking this toy because it makes a funny noise and take a sippy from my super cool mega awesome dino cup

Daily reminders that there is:

Older age regressors/caregivers

Caregivers that are only interested in caring for older kiddos

Some regressors only regress a few years

Older regressors can regress to their 20s/similar "older" ages and are still valid

There are fat age regressors

There are tall age regressors

There are short/petite caregivers

There are POC age regressors

There are POC caregivers

There are disabled age regressors

There are disabled caregivers

You don't need gear to regress and be valid

You don't need to baby talk to be valid

You don't have to act any different to be valid

You don't need trauma to age regress

You don't need to regress often to identify as a regressor (same for caregivers!!)

You can enjoy being both a caregiver and a regressor! Sometimes, you can do it both at once, by being an older sibby!

You don't have to tell anyone about your regression to be valid

You don't have to hide your regression (in a safe situation) and be ashamed of it!

You can regress to different ages

Some regressors are regressed 24/7

Some caregivers want to care for their kiddo 24/7

Some caregivers don't want to or can't care for their little 24/7

What are some reminders that you need or think other people might want to hear? I've been thinking a lot about belonging in a community, and I know that the agere community is really really lovely, but sometimes there are important reminders, yk? I wanna keep this space safe and open for any (nice) people to join because it was this community being safe and open that made me feel loved and accepted when I wasn't by other people. I love this community so so much <3

Sometimes regression isn’t about being happy.

Sometimes regression is being so mad at the day you had and the people that are mean and the world for being cruel that you can’t help but get small at the end of the day and seek comfort and feel frustrated at yourself for wanting to regress and be safe.

Sometimes regression is having an ugly meltdown and crying about things that are happening and things that happened before and things you don’t want to have happen again.

Sometimes regression is the last defense against a depressive episode, the hope that nostalgia will give you the feelings you need.

Sometimes regression is coming down from panic and anxiety swirling, self soothing or being held by someone while you’re catching your breath and shakily drinking water.

Sometimes regression is not wanting anybody to touch you at all, wanting nobody to hurt you or overstimulate you or make you feel like you physically exist at all.

And sometimes regression is letting your little self drink the water you need, eat the food you deserve, put your face in the sunlight and do whatever you need to do to keep going. Sometimes it’s letting yourself sit and breathe. Sometimes you share that space with all of your feelings, simple and complicated alike while you’re little. Sometimes it’s just about feeling safe. ˚✧₊⁎💛⁎⁺˳༚

Toys/Stuffies PSA!

Here’s a few things I wanted to remind you about your toys and plushies! It’s important to remember!

✨ Your toys love you so much!!! You are their best friend, don’t forget that!

✨ Toy Story is fictional! Your toys don’t feel sad or upset when you don’t play with them for a while! They understand, and they’re happy regardless. When you get new toys, they’re happy to have new friends!

✨ Stuffies need to be washed. Make sure you give them a nice warm, relaxing bath occasionally. Stuffies don’t breathe like we do, so they enjoy being soaked underwater sometimes. They’re also very flexible! Ringing water out of them and scrubbing them is like a nice massage!

✨ They like the washer and dryer! It’s like a theme park ride! Just make sure it’s gentle, you don’t want them getting hurt!

✨ If you wake up, and a plushie is on the floor, don’t feel bad! That means they went on a super secret mission to make sure there were no monsters hiding anywhere

✨ There are plenty of ways to play! There is no one way to play, so don’t feel bad if you don’t interact with your toys the same way as someone else, or even if you don’t have any toys! Here’s a post on some non pretend play ideas!

✨ If you can’t keep a toy, don’t worry, they’re not upset! It’s just the beginning of a new adventure for them!

✨ It’s okay if you struggle to give your toys names and personalities! As long as you like them, that’s what matters!

Personally, I love thrifting my plushies and toys! It’s like reaching an animal from a shelter, versus a pet store! :3 all toys deserve love 🩵
