Everyone says “I wish Monster High was around when I was a kid”. But, I don’t. I wouldn’t have been able to afford all the ones I wanted. My experiences as a kid would probably be different, and I wouldn’t have the same interests as I did. I’m happy they’re here now, even if I’m 21 years old. The past is gone, and just a story. Enjoy the here and now because it’s all you have.
But, but… My aunt, parents, and godmothers bought us oodles of Barbies as kids! So, if we had Monster High (then), I’d have been up to my elbows in ghouls!! (And yes, I would have absolutely been as interested in them back them).
Now, ask me how many of my original Barbies I still have (and how many I bought on ebay as a nostalgic adult) u_u
And THAT’s why I’m content to have them in the here and now.
