Treated myself to my first ever doll at 29!
Growing up I wasn't allowed dolls. I remember how bad I used to want them and how much fun I'd have when spending time at my friend's house.
Today at the ripe old age of 29, to celebrate my birthday, I decided to heal a little bit of my inner child by buying my first doll. I spent a while rolling up and down the aisle in my chair trying to decide which doll I'd be taking home before spotting Coraline on the highest shelf – I don't think I've ever asked someone for help grabbing something off a shelf so quickly!
I don't know what the done thing is with the more collectable dolls, but I wanted to take it out of the packaging because I don't care too much because I bought this to heal myself and to bring myself joy. I did make sure I was super careful with the packaging anyway!
All in all, I think buying it has done some healing and I foresee some future damage too, but to my bank account in the form of more dolls!
