As a child, I had a small, plush toy elephant that served as my comfort item. Its grey fabric was soft and worn from frequent hugs, and it had large, floppy ears that I frequently fiddled with as I fell asleep. The elephant had a comforting weight that made it ideal for carrying around the house and even on trips. While initially, it was a simple toy, it quickly grew into a cherished companion that provided a sense of security and familiarity. This stuffed elephant had a subtle scent of lavender from occasional washes with fabric softener, which added to its soothing presence. As I grew older, my reliance on the elephant lessened, but I kept it as a treasured memento of my childhood. To this day, it remains tucked safely away in my closet, a reminder of simpler, more innocent times.
