Sleeping with stuffed animals

I am 20 years old. I have jobs. I am starting UNI. I am planning my future. and I sleep with my stuffed animal, Kalle the bunny! Kalle is a little red chubby bunny that I've had and loved since birth. I don't ever leave him, and I spend all my nights with him. Some people may call it weird, or sad and that is ones opinion, I don't care. I know people my age who still have stuffed toys, and favors them but Kalle and I have it on another level. At the risk of sounding crazy, we are BFF's. We are like from the movie TED. If my biggest nightmare would ever come true, God forbid, and we someday loose each other, I would go Tom Hanks losing Wilson in Castaway x10000000000.

Out of curiosity yesterday, I looked up if it was anything psychological behind the fact that I just can't let my red little bunny go, if that was a sign of something. I looked up several websites and cross my heart, I didn't read a single negative thing about it.
Why should it be wrong for a twenty year old to still have a teddy? If anything, I consider myself lucky and I read about "Struggles only adults who still sleep with their teddy would understand" and every single point was true. My friend Ragnar use to tell me that my future life partner would be jealous of my relationship with Kalle Ha Ha Ha.  

Points you "normal" people couldn't possibly know anything about (the struggles in more or less my own words):


  • Because I've always had him, he looks torn, or rather yet, worn 
  • He's shared all my experiences so he has been through a lot for a bunny
  • He has had SEVERAL operations
  • But that only means that I love him
  • I can't and won't travel to any part of the world without him
  • If I ever would, I know that he would miss me as much as I miss him, because I just can't sleep without him
  • Introducing him to someone special is a huge deal
  • If the someone special can't deal, he has to go. My bunny comes first
  • If the someone special has a teddy himself, someone special just got luckier
  • People try to make you replace him but that would be like replacing a family member 
  • I have a little bunny to share my birthdays with
  • When life is at its worst, I always have someone there
  • There is no better cuddler or listener in the world than my bunny
  • He is however getting a bit bald
  • And there are people in my life who like to be mean and tease me about him
  • Why have a pillow when I have my bunny?
  • Who would I share my adventures with in a way that only I can understand if not my bunny?
  • I can have the bestest friends in the world, but Kalle will always and forever be my eternal soul mate
Love you forever Kalle Kanin!!
