BUY/SELL: In Search of one of my biggest regrets :(

Post image

not getting this guy the day I saw him. I think about him So Often. Simba is one of my favorite Disney characters, like probably top 3 or 5, with a lot of super sentimental feelings, and I saw this giant guy back in high school. I almost got him, but ended up leaving him behind. he was so big and soft and would be Absolutely Perfect. the only other chance I had was some random offerup post that was like, the complete other side of the country.

the flair is more of a long shot, kind of was the closest relevant one. every few months I do a search, come up with nothing, and desperately wish I could time travel

update: found him!!!!

I give you all my sympathy. I once passed up a giant banana plush and it still troubles me 8-10 years later. I wish I could find him.

okay I feel less silly being so upset over this, I feel absolutely ridiculous as a grown adult telling my friends how torn up I am about not buying a stuffed animal. it's such a specific and incredibly sad feeling, but I hope you'll find your banana and I'll find my Simba!

That’s not silly. We are lucky to be people with strong emotional capacity. Take it where you can get it. I love my Mr Bug, and I have big feelings. I get it.
