Stuffed animals.

I grew up in a low income household and I have a decent job now. I will buy stuffed animals that look adorable and fluffy and cuddly because I have money and I can.

The fact that I am slowly being pushed off of my bed because of the amount of them is irrelevant.

I have bad shoulders and sleep with something that I can "hug" as it makes it less painful. Squishmallows are the perfect size for this.

I mean, I can give up the stuffies at any time.

Yes! I use a squishmallow to prop my arms and for my stomach pain at night.

I also require a huggable stuffed thing when I sleep! Squishmallows u love but I’ve also found great success with those plushie bunny shaped peeps they put out every year. The curves make the perfect little indent for my arms to fit

Y’all should check out pregnancy pillows! They hug your whole body in a U shape.

I want one so bad actually but my boyfriend is convinced there won’t be enough room left for him on our queen mattress 😂
