Most of us had a security blanket or beloved stuffed animal in our youth, but how many of them made it to adulthood with us?

Some people are more sentimental than others, making the idea of leaving such an important childhood totem behind unthinkable to some and inevitable to others. There’s also a difference between keeping your favorite teddy bear in a box somewhere and still sleeping with it, not that one is better than the other. It’s completely natural to form strong emotional attachments to material objects that make you feel safe and secure, just as it’s understandable to want to retain a physical connection to a time in your life when everything seemed simpler.
