I think that stuffed animals are one of the best things that could bring you comfort, especially ones that are connected to things that are important and hold emotional value for you
I have a big soft spot for stuffed animals and got ridiculed a lot for this, especially with the stigma about it in my country. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about what brings you comfort and joy, i think cuddling with a plushie is the manliest thing ever, and i will stand with it
