Dear Object, Please Don't Cry

I find myself quite prone to daydreaming these days. It’s a bit of a departure from my younger years, actually. As a child, I wasn't nearly this much of a dreamer; that particular tendency simply wasn't part of my nature back then. 🤔
Perhaps everything is finally coming full circle. 😍 🤣
This immediately crossed my mind, though I suppose there must be some underlying reason why we haven't managed to shake it off just yet. 🥳
I haven't the slightest clue what that could possibly be.
Furthermore, I find myself loath to tear up paper—even when it contains absolutely nothing of value to me, let alone something that might actually be useful down the road. Even if the document isn't mine, the act itself feels unnecessary. 😵
There isn't even a chance I’d gift someone something that actually belongs to me. Instead, I’ll just wrap up whatever I bought for them right away. It keeps things simple—no unnecessary emotional attachment. 🙂 😬

It actually has a technical term—if I recall correctly, it's called animism, which is typically just a developmental stage you go through when you're a little kid... the idea that inanimate objects possess a life of their own. Eventually, you’re supposed to outgrow it, but looking at people around here, it seems like that phase just never ends for some folks 😁
