Once upon a time, she was a little girl with tons of fluffy friends. Each one had a name and a place in her heart. Time passed, she grew up, and entered a new chapter of her life. Then one day, she found herself in a sea of teddies, bunnies, mermaids, and other toys. She was no longer the little girl who used to play with them for hours. But now, she was the one who took the hand of her inner child, revisiting her childhood friends and indulging in the sweet memories they once shared, while allowing the little girl inside her to have a secret conversation with them—perhaps telling them about all the adventures she'd had along the way.
