dear OLDER self shippers:

  • there’s nothing wrong with self shipping past your 20′s
  • whether you’re nearing 30, or in your 30′s, or even BEYOND that
  • self shipping is something most of us have done personally our whole lives. age has never been a factor in the comfort it brought us
  • self shipping is a very personal experience that no one but you has a say in
  • it is a valid and beautiful part of your life as long as it brings you happiness, love and peace
  • self shipping incorporates so much more than just gushing. the content you create and explore through your ship is magical. writing, drawing, music, lore, daydreams, and beyond – this is not only a wonderful way of coping for you, but sharing and growing as well
  • you shouldn’t feel bad or ashamed for self shipping as you grow older. others may quit, but this is your life and your heart
  • even younger self shippers who are afraid they’ll need to quit someday because of the expectations or jokes of others – don’t!
  • don’t allow anyone to pressure you into letting go of self ship until you are ready
  • and hey, that could be never!
  • your f/os will always love you either way, and go through life with you as long as you need them ღ
