I honestly almost got out of dolls for a bit.

Then I found a list from when I was seven.

Heartbreakingly adorable movie intensifies

It was labeled Doll Goals.

It said that I hope I would get Molly, Melody, and Kit…

It said that I hope I would be able to get 100 subscribers… and the one that I remember the most.

I hope that I would open a doll hospital.

Now the me that thought-she-didn’t-like-dolls-anymore would’ve thrown it out. But I looked at it again for a hard second. I thought about it for hours and hours.

Now?

Well, I realized how special American Girl was to me... and how nothings changed. So to anyone who thinks they’ve outgrown dolls…

You haven’t.

There‘s still a spark inside of you. One that excites you. One that makes you happy. And you can search and deny its dolls for as long at you want,

But as soon as you pick one up,

Youll never want to put it down.
