I chance upon this by accident, while reading fanfiction on Wattpad.
It's intriguing, the more I read about it, the more I'm drawn to it.
"Littlespace is a mindset in which an adult relaxes into a state of carefree, responsibility-free safety. It may be a developed time in which an adult relieves childhood memories, scenarios, or desires that were unachieveable in their adolescence. As an adult in littlespace (often referred to as a 'Little') may involved another adult referred to as a caregiver, engage in activities viewed as childish, and some may even participate in adult sexual interaction during their time in littlespace."
- Urban Dictionary
It is a form of ageplay, or age regression. I don't feel it is wrong or unnatural, it's just a coping mechanism for some adults to deal with stressful situations. There is nothing kinky or sexual about it. These Littles retreat into their littlespace to find happiness and escape from their reality. Whatever the cause that triggered them to enter, be it their fears, problems or worries, it makes them happy.
Am I a Little?
Maybe, maybe not, I am not too sure myself. I would say I'm childish and like childlike things. Just thinking about a possible littlespace makes me extremely happy.
Imagine a regressive state of mind where is it peaceful and pleasent, and a place where worries, anxieties and fears melt away in twinkling sparkles. It is replaced by the sweet scent of happiness, relaxation and calmness. I sit on a lap of a giant brown teddy bear, with its arms on either side of me. I snuggle against the soft pale yellow blanket that is draped across my shoulders. Strains of Disney music could be heard, as the credits continued rolling. In front of me, there's a table, and with it is a mug of thick hot chocolate with marshmallows at a reachable distance. There is a colouring book splayed open, accompanined by a large holder containing assortments of colouring markers, pencils, pens, crayons etc.. Stretching out my legs, I turned to my right to face a full length window overlooking a picturesque view of a clear lake framed by red maple trees and snow-capped mountains in the background. I pressed my hands on the glass, cool to touch, as I watched the maple leaves tousled in the wind.
Justing imagining it gives me a freeing feeling as I escape from any negative feelings for awhile. It's going to be comfotable. It's going to be a safe place, nothing can hurt me, and there is nothing to fear.
Give me a colouring book.
Ask me what my favourite colour is.
Don't let me pay or hand me money like you would to a big girl.
Feed me snacks and drinks with special bowls and cups.
Tell me when I'm doing good, love me still on bad days.
I want to be a child, and not have to deal or worry with anything at all.
Shelter me from my fears and anxieties, and the evilness of world.
It would be nice to escape reality once in awhile, but it is not possible, is it?
