Overview

Hii!! I am a 37 year old, with a 2-4 year old little self. I am without a caregiver at the moment, but am finding that the more stress life puts on me, the more I embrace my mini me. I have also became more comfortable incorporating cute clothes or bright colors into my outfits. I would love to be friends, and would be happy to answer any questions that I could. -kp

I’m getting back into being a little and trying to introduce my husband to being my daddy. I played around a little bit as a little in college and loved it. Then met my ex who was abusive and called being a little stupid and manipulated me out of wanting to be a little. I lost myself for a really long time and now I’m ready to finally find myself again. Mainly just joined this group to see how others my age are handling little lifestyle and things like that. Thanks.

Here are some posts that I think might help you. I don’t have a Daddy but a chore chart with stickers sounds fun and a build a bear date is a fantastic reward.

Hi. I don't have anything to add. Just wanted to say that I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm 30. Just recently figured out some stuff about myself, partially this. Got two wonderful kids and a great husband/caregiver. Just confused and feeling lost about everything. I'd love to be your friend. Maybe we could traverse this together! If not, that's totally fine. Just know that you're definitely not alone. 🩷

Hi all, I’m 34 years old and since meeting my husband I’ve always felt safe and naturally acted “little”. Before him I was a single mom of 3 boys and worked 2-3 jobs at a time, so very independent and stubborn. It’s been a huge change in a good way and it just naturally happened. Fairly new though to calling him daddy or dada and wearing cute little onesies and using a bottle, I love it! But it’s getting over the insecurity of having a mom body but a little girl mind and heart 😝 and coming up with ideas for rewards and stuff has also been challenging. So any ideas would greatly be appreciated

@Sicarie Hi! Welcome to the group. I'm 45 and also didn't fully embrace/accept my little and middle sides until recently. I knew they were there; they had their ways of making themselves known, but life long conditioning caused me to keep them locked down as much as possible. I'm much happier now that I have let them loose. I hope you are enjoying connecting with those sides of yourself as well.

Hello everyone! My name is Jessi. I learned about being little about 3 years ago. It’s taken me time to get to know that side of me and recognize that I am more a middle than a little, but my little side still comes out, especially at night when I get sleepy. I don’t go by a specific age or range. I’m just me ☺️ It’s also taken me some time to feel comfortable being me with the big age of 43. To accept and tell myself it’s ok to be this way and to embrace it. I still have a ways to go, but I’m getting more comfortable in my skin. i hope to get to know all of you and make some friends. It’s really exciting to have a community of people to talk to and relate to like this.

Lunita, Yesterday was a good day, hoping for another one today. We're at the beginning of the semester, so things are mostly settled! I hope your day is a great one!

LilJeanie, You certainly get it! The people that I work with are also students and that comes with its own challenges. I hope you have a wonderful day and it's not a hard one.

Lunita, I understand completely! I work with students with disabilities. Very rewarding, but also sometimes so stressful and I just wanna hide in my blanket fort with snackies!

LOVE this. And fairy lights, brilliant! Thank you 🖤

I’m making my own tent for my stuffies. Look on Pinterest they have diy projects. Although I am considering in buying a little tent.

Ok, hear me out. I have seen videos online of people using a very large dog crate/kennel thingie. Advantages, you can cover it with a blanket or table cloth, and everything under it is hidden. Also, you can line it with soft bedding. Then you can have your space inside. I don't know how tall you are though.

@Little Skittles What about a small tent? If there's enough room it could be put up in an out-of-the-way corner. You can drape a blanket or other fabric to dress it up and put fairy lights inside. It can zip closed for easy "clean up" and you can tell anyone who asks that it's your reading nook. If discretion isn't as big of a priority they make some really cool toddler tents. I had a pirate castle for my mini-me when they were small that easily fit us both.

Hi fren🖤 When I first discovered my little side it took some deep looks at myself, and who I truly am. My only advice as a seasoned little is this: Please just be who you need to be. Just be you.🖤I know that's super hard right now, but if you need to be bratty one night, and littlier the next, then do it. Don't hold back what you need. I find it extremely difficult to go completely into little space unless I have a CG. I just don't feel safe unless I know I have a Big person, and that's ok. Lots of us littles feel that way. It's not wrong, it's just how we are. My time as a little has been an evolution since I first entered the Lifestyle. Needs change, life happens. Is your Dominant a CG? Do they want a brat or are they interested in DDlg? It sounds like a big talk with your person might help you both understand how to move forward. I hope that you find what you need here, and feel safe in your journey. 🖤

Hewwos Jenny, I'm Lunita, and I'm 44🖤I can understand this exactly. I appreciate everyone, but sometimes dat relatability helps when we struggle as older littles. I'm here looking for frens for exactly that reason.

Hewwos, I.am 44 (little me is 5) and have a very big job in behavioral health. Today was an extra super hard day and I'm going to da store for snackies. No wants to be bigs anymore today. I need my juice and onesie.

Time to build my little a space 😬 I can't put it off any longer. Feels like she's legit splitting my seams lol I'll start this by saying I'm new at letting little me free and now realize adult me doesn't know much about her. As an AgeRe little, I can't really see inside that box unless I'm in it. Like I can't just allow myself to step into that head space at a store, y'know? I'll wind up cuffed and stuffed (hahahaaaaaaa, shut up!) or at the ward. This small towns breeds small minds, and I ain't looking for any heat. Hard enough for me to people. Yeah, pretty much over the whole adulting thing. Fucking exhausting 😑 And that bitch is a minimalist. Of course she is. Anything else would be absurd 🙄 But minimalism don't vibe with little needs, makes shopping and planning so damn difficult 😤 FML Anyhooo, the overall living space needs to remain as clutter-free as can be or bubye sanity, but little me has no obvious rhyme or reason. I'm thinking a blanket fort is the best way to go. I mean, if done right, it would camouflage whatever wonderland is tucked beneath, no? If there is another, better way to do this, lemme hear ya! So right, I need ideas. Final project must mesh with minimalist outside — look like a decoration with a purpose to even exist — while inside needs to be like a magick portal spiral ride to bright colored chaos. Please. And TIA

You have NO idea how happy this makes me!!!

Thank you so much for the welcome! No way, really? I mean, my favorite color combo is yellow and purple. Maybe I am royalty. 😉 The ocarina is kind of like a weird shaped flute and the kalimba is also called a thumb piano if I remember right. It's basically wood with metal tines attached that you play with your thumbs.

Welcome here. I think you are the 1st person I know who says yellow is their favorite color. usually it is blue, green, or purple. Yellow was the color reserved for the Chinese emperor if I remember correctly. Maybe you are royalty. 😜 I never heard of the instruments you talked about. I will have to check them out. Have fun on this forum, and welcome.

Alllll this. Safer feels when reading 🙃

Ah, yea, fair enough. I remember, in like, 5th or 6th grade I was in band and for reasons no longer known to me, I chose French Horn. It was literally the three shortest kids in the grade, picking one of the heaviest instruments. I don't think any of us were even 5 feet tall at that point.

I haven't played in over 25 years. Not something I really care to do again, anyways. I wasn't really happy playing the flute, but it was that or the trumpet, and I couldn't deal with my lips being numb. {giggle} Sheet music can be challenging when first starting, just have to practice. Scale drills are not fun, but they are helpful.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you've found ways to still enjoy the flute. I've never really had to read sheet music or anything so the ocarina is gonna be a bunch of skills growing at once.
