Let’s get something out of the way right now: colouring in a dinosaur colouring book as a grown-up doesn’t mean you’ve regressed. Playing with Lego doesn’t make you immature. Rewatching The Lion King with popcorn and a blanket? Still not a red flag. In fact, it might be the smartest thing you’ve done all week.
