Age regression really is fascinating to me in that I believe that it gets to the core of a massive myth in society. That is the myth of an “adult” world, or that at some undefined point of socialisation people reach the end of an imaginary development curve and become fully formed independent adults. But what does that actually mean?
And so age regression gets to the heart of this and makes one think… when do we stop loving people? Not loving in any one defined sense, but just having a love for people, how they grow, how they learn how they make mistakes.
As a little, my girlfriends have endless time to explain stuff, hold my hand, make something less scary and by being little, i dont have to feel embarrassed for not understanding the first… 10 times >.< but when does this stop? The myth that is dominant is that the “adult” doesn’t need this reassurance, that the “adult” is fully independent.
But at its core, society and to a larger extent people are really silly and cute!! Not serious!! Because silly would masquerade as serious, but serious would never need to masquerade as silly. So why should we ever make people feel bad// get frustrated when they need help.
And so age regression is this fascinating lens through which can begin to inform how you treat people, love people, or have patience for people even in the “real world.” Because we need to normalise going “erm… imliterally only two” >.<
Love people. Love the way it feels.
