old shirts and security blankets

[tigre86]

Almost all weekend, I wore this old, ratty, ugly shirt that I've had for about ten years now. It's ripped in places and has stains in various places. I never loved this shirt, in fact I always found it rather unappealing. Despite that I've kept it all these years, even after it became too baggy to wear during the day. It transfered from daytime

i have a stuffed cow that's my security blanket equivalent, i don't know how or when it atarted to be, but it now comes on everytrip with me, if i'm sad and i hug it, the pain is numbed a little. I think we all need to hang on to soemthing simple and uncomplicated at times, whether it's a shirt, or a memory or a person or an objext, it's the concept that is needed.

I couldn't agree more. Security blankets are seen as bad things here which I find a shame since I think that they can be a very positive thing in a person's like, for all the reasons you stated. :)

That's sweet =]. I've never really had a security blanket I don't think but I've always understood people who do - it seems so comforting.

Trust me the shirt is fugly, lol, but ya know I love it. You probably do, just don't realize it yet, but yes it is very comforting to have something like that around.
