Bearrific
It’s starting to hit me how much bears are involved in my life. Upon reflection, it’s a certain theme throughout my life. But I’ve never really had a special interest in bears, they are cute, fierce, fluffy.
For things to become a special something for me, things have to click in a way, they have to have some meaning to me. Sometimes I can’t immediately grasp why something is interesting to me, and makes me start to learn and collect all sorts of stuff about the interest. And other times, it’s a more slow process. Things could be years actively in my life, but it isn’t really an interest to me, they’re just there.
And that is something I’ve suddenly realized about bears this morning, when I thought how cool the name of this blog actually is. I tried to find reviews on social media about bear blog, but except for one or two videos and a few blogposts and Reddit discussions, all I found was actual blogs and videos about bears.
So this morning I suddenly realized how important bears have been to me. They have been silent comforters for me.
To start, when I was born, my uncle bought a big bear plush called mister Bear 🐻 and with it a little fairytale book about me having an adventure with mister Bear and his friends. I have read it a few times to our little one but inserted her name. Mister Bear was in my memory huge, but when my parents brought all my childhood stuff to us when we moved from an apartment to a real house with an attic, I found mister Bear less big than I thought. Along with some other bears that I fondly remembered from back then.
As I tried to recollect more early memories, I found myself stuck. But fast forward, I always got my little Pimboli with me. It’s a character from the brand Diddl. And since my childhood, most of the time I have taken Pimboli with me. Currently he is 24/7 with me. For him alone I would probably pay money to be able to post pictures of him hahah.
When I was 17 I met my now husband, whose name is Eric. I nicknamed him Beeric.
When I became pregnant I became a mother bear, and also had much dreams about mother bears 🐻
I currently play a game that I really like with bears in it (it’s called Cozy Grove).
In autumn I always feel like a bear who is preparing for their winter sleep, I make everything cozy and comfortable and in general slow down.
So this is how something suddenly ‘clicks’ and sparks my interest. For now this is all I share about it, my next post will be about Pimboli. How I found him, how he helps me, and my search for a Pimboli plush for our little one.
Until whenever 🐻
