Don't worry goodnitesgirl every single one of us has throw out things we later regret and then wonder what we were thinking. Thirty years ago I had a large girl doll the like of which I had never seen before or since, and which cost me $$$. I had her for many years, I bought a lot of clothes for her from a 'doll lover' lady who sold out of her spare room, and slept with her whenever I felt sad. Then one day I decided it was just too ridiculous for a thirty-five year old male to have a doll and put it in a thrift bin. BUT NOW I WANT MY DOLLY BACK! And yes, I was in an odd place then as well. The problem is that many people like us routinely move in and out of our 'happy space' of which there are many examples of and when we leave it for the 'the real world' (I will call it) we feel ridiculous for ever doing it. Transvestites are famous for collecting large wardrobes of women's clothing and accessories and then one day deciding that they can't do this anymore and throw it all out just to start all over again down the track. If I had everything 'kinky' (I will call such accessories to life) I could fill a spare room with 'kinky' things. Just three months ago I threw out a fantastic training toilet set because (?) and today I want it back because I'm trying to make my (adult) toilet redundant. I will probably buy another one too, but will I throw that out one day if I feel like I shouldn't be trying to a child 24/7 again? It is as if we move in and out of two (or more in some cases) entirely incommensurable and distinct worlds. It's okay goodnitesgirl ... we all say 'I would never..." but then we do.
love & kisses jami
