I put up one of these kids’ tents with a tunnel attached to it for Klara. She loves playing in it. But when I got into the tunnel to play with her, God, I enjoyed being in it so much that it’s weird. Just being in this tiny, boxed in space was beyond pleasant. I didn’t want to come out.
And yes, obviously, the tunnel is symbolic of the birth canal.
I’m weird.
No weirder than every cat I’ve ever owned:)

With my size and hair, I’m more like a lionness than a cat. 🙂

Why is that weird? Pillow forts are a staple of children’s play. And ‘Community’ even did a whole episode on that with grown up. 🙂

I’m way too large for it to be comfortable. But there is a connection. I overeat for emotional reasons, and that’s precisely the kind of trauma that’s revealed by the desire to go back to the symbolic birth canal.
