Inner Child Rabbit - Plush Stuffed Animal

A lot of childhoods are fine. Not great, not awful, just fine. And yet thirty years later you're in a grocery store and a song comes on and you have to stop walking for a second. 

That's who the Inner Child Rabbit is for. The version of you that came out mostly okay. Not untouched, though. A few bandages never came off. A few doors stayed shut. It counts anyway. You don't owe anyone a backstory for it.

Every piece of the rabbit is a memory. The fireflies in the jar are the wonder you never lost, you just stopped reaching for it. The padlock on the chain is the stuff you keep and don't open. The ribbon tied around one leg is the ballet class, the piano lessons, the thing you complained about every week and would trade a lot to sit through just once more. The star is for the outfit era you will still defend out loud. The mixtape lining the ears is for whoever pressed record for you. The mark on the arm is the alchemical symbol for lead, because some of it is just heavy, and there's no prettier way to put that.

The tears are the good kind. Mostly.
