The Velveteen Rabbit is a great book, I listened to a version of it as an audiobook as a child. I still remember the rocking horse talking about what makes something real to the rabbit.
this shit (on top of generally being under the weather tonight) brushed strong against old wounds in my heart (/compliment) (tho my personal experiences moderately different but still felt on some of the struggles in this piece)
Thank you. :)
