Do you talk to dolls? 

 

Dolls are an everyday item that everyone owns. Some people may find them cute and use them to decorate their beds or hang them around without any particular meaning. Some people will treat dolls as companions with souls, companions who can talk and keep company, just like human beings. For me, the character of dolls is the other me that I buried in my heart; they are the most complete and ideal self that I am looking for. For this group of people, it is an escape from this cruel world, a spiritual support to release their pressure, to recover their childhood innocence, and to get a sense of security. 

 

That’s why people who haven’t had this kind of experience often think that we are “strange” or that we have mental problems. But we are just people full of childish innocence and fantasies about the world, trying to find something lovely in our lives.
