when i was tiny i had a dress to sleep in covered in pictures of a girl is some sort of fantasy world. It was light pink. it was shiny and some how that reflected in the texture itself. when u touched the one side that everyone could see the fabric felt cold and smooth like slipping off the edge of a metallic slide. the other side where the repeated imagery looked grainy felt the way it look too. it was course reminding me of a stuck zipper being pulled. neither of these feelings were truly magical but when u folded the fabric of the dress in half or pinched it from the inside the silky outer surface glided against itself while i could easily grip from the rougher side. To me it felt like how imagine a marble feels gliding across a pool of water ir maybe glass. im not sure exactly how to describe the feelinf but it felt calm and safe. i loved wearing that dress so everynight i could dough the 2 sides together while drifting off to sleep. in fact i still have the dress which i nicknamed my tickler as a kid so parents continued to call it that. i think this was probably my first identifiable stim toy. its wild my mom and dad never saw or wondered.

Hard to tell if its a real memory or an implanted one but I think it was my 2nd birthday party and I had a stye and a cake shaped like a ladybug and I was going down a slide with my friends.
If not that memory than for sure the memory of my first funeral at 5. I wore an itchy pink sweater and black skirt.

i was at a party with my parents, i was maybe 9. it was at their friends house, she had been running an illegal day care in her back yard during the summer. it was one of the those parties were all the adults get drunk and the kids get to run in the neighborhood free. we had been playing man hunt all night, it had just turned from twilight to true darkness. i laid in the field behind their house catching my breath with kid toys littered all around me. one of the older girls at the party came around the house and laid down next to me. we talked about the different people at the party, who our parents were, ghosts, the stars. she got up and i followed rejoining the game. i dont remember her name or face but i remeber the feeling.

I have this very vivid memory of some time, around third grade or so, my family stopped on a roadtrip to check out a garage sale type thing in Virginia or West Virginia. I remember a kid about my age, he lived in the house we stopped at and I remember it feeling sort of like the edge of the world because it was on a hill, high above a valley. The grass was so tall and the ground, sort of maze-like, shown through the grass on paths of warm, dusty brown. The kid with a buzzed head, donning a white wife-beater (wife-lover, rather), I followed through the paths, exploring what felt like a big place. I wonder about them sometimes.
