Yeah, wish they still had it, but it sold out while we were working on the design

honestly, I LOVE my adulthood... couldn't wait to get 18 (legal age where I live) ... and there was not a single day in my entire life (and I've seen and lived through some pretty fucked up shit) where I wish my adulthood and the rights and responsibilities that come with it to go away. I get that it can be tough and hard and devastating, tiring, trying, sometimes frustrating... but ultimately it's all worth to be able to make your OWN decisions, live life in a fashion YOU DECIDE and not your parents or anyone else. IF someone else would be your "legal guardian" and had the right to make your decisions for your, I don't think too many here would actually like that. Adulthood is what actually enables you to go about diapered - FREELY, out of your OWN WILL AND DESIRE... and with no one able to force you to do something else.

I really don't think a lot of people understand how much trouble Britain is in right now. The market and currency are plummeting, the areas that get EU funding are suddenly demanding the same funding from the government in Westminster (farmers got half their pay in EU subsidaries), there have been a few very small demonstrations in favour of deporting foreign nationals and a lot more open racism, businesses are starting to pack up and leave, a lot of places are announcing freezes on hiring new people we have a political vacuum... Our prime minister announced he is resigning and there is literally no plan in what to do next. The leader of the opposition is watching his pary fall apart as well as half the shadow cabinet has resigned and he is attacked on all sides. The EU is demanding we leave quickly and we sever as many ties as possible... But we can't. There is no one at the top willing to enact Article 50 because if we do that is it, the country is standing on the edge of the cliff, we don't know where the bottom is and actually starting the process to leave will see us jump off. Vague terms like "more independence" and "put the Great back into Great Britain" are empty rhetoric and ignore everything that a majority of experts in a majority of fields advised and yet here we are willingly voting ourselves into recession and chaos. This is the reason that referendums on these issues are a bad thing... Most people are too open to ignoring experts in favour of emotional rhetoric and this is what happens. The people who lead the Leave campaign have already gone back on their biggest promises. There won't be money to pour into the NHS like they said there would be, we can't reduce immigration and now some are saying we only want to cut legislative ties and not economic which is funny because to keep the economic ties we would have to accept most of the legislative. Basically we will end up in a similar situation to Norway and Switzerland wherein we end up paying more to the EU, lose our special priviledges and have to accept EU legislation with no say in it (previously we had a say). Before anyone says this sounds like a shitty deal, it is the same with any other deal and if we don't like it we can stop dealing with the EU... Only that will cripple the country completely. It seems a lot of people are looking for ways to not enact the referendum now (it was only advisory). There is some talk that the devolved regions like Scotland have to agree or they can veto it but that is unclear, some talk about ignoring the referendum and all sorts of business. I'm sure it is fascinating to anyone looking in but the UK has historically been very stable politically, right now is complete and utter chaos and it is only getting worse. Let this be a lesson to everyone that referendums are an inherently bad idea... We elect people for a reason and that is to make these tough decisions. I think this post makes the EU sound a lot worse than it is. In my opinion it is a great Union and it has benefitted a lot of people in ways they wouldn't even realise and it is only when it isn't there that people suddenly notice everything it did for us.

Cant wait for my OnesiesDownUnder order to get here

Hey, I read your story. I want you to know that you are not alone. I grew up in a cold, non-affectionate home, and I never learned how to be intimate with anyone. My only escape from stress was to lose myself in my imagination. I would fantasize about being a baby again, sleeping in a crib, wearing diapers. Later on, I used alcohol, but eventually, that only made it worse. I'm clean now, thankfully. When I was growing up, (late 50s/early60s), most guys had the John Wayne facade. Violence was accepted, even expected. As an adult, I was diagnosed Depression (General) Anxiety (General). Now, I have learned to deal with it. Persist! Live is always worth living. Don't feel that you 'must' do something. Do what you know is right. God bless, L
