My story

Low-key a bit scared to post about this… my glove collection started when I was probably 6. These gloves were some that were given to me on my tenth birthday (size xs). My family never understood my fascination with gloves, so I’ve been holed up with this for many years now. It started with just me enjoying the feeling of wearing them, but then ended up being a large part of childhood imagination games. I was too young to notice this at the time, but a lot of it was my being bound, or trapped, by the “powers” the gloves had. Some other “powers” I gave them were those of the elements, mind control, etc. When I was probably 11 or so, I accidentally fell asleep while wearing a pair of them, and discovered that I liked it. I then began wearing them to sleep more. I’ve always had to hide them, mostly because I didn’t want my family to find out out of fear of them taking them. A couple of times, my mom found a few of them stashed somewhere and would ask me about them. I always just told her that they were for cleaning, or just shrugged in embarrassment…

Glad to finally get this off my chest 🙃
