reclaiming my childhood
here’s the story:
a few years ago, I left a box of precious childhood memories with my (then) boyfriend’s parents a few years ago because I didn’t have storage. fast forward, we broke up, he was horrible and we stopped talking. a year or so goes by and I’m hit with panic as I remember my hamtaro playset was in that box! I contacted him despite us not talking, he “doesn’t know where it is”. I called him mom - she claims it was lost.. I’m suspicious that’s not the real story.
I was crushed. I mourned for it, then begin casually searching online to find maybe one hamtaro figurine to help ease the blow.
well, one figurine followed another, and then I found the clubhouse playset for a steal (which I never owned but it’s so cool!) and finally I found the house playset from my childhood, for a reasonable price, shipped from japan!
I can’t explain how much this playset has healed the loss of that entire box of memories, but also healed my inner child. I highly recommend to anyone who lost something precious to them from their childhood, take a look online and reclaim even just a piece of it <3
