Late Nights and Littlespace Realizations

I've worked the night shift at a warehouse for almost three years now. It's been tough on my body and spirit, but it pays the bills. One thing that started happening over time is that I found myself slipping into these odd states of mind while alone or with coworkers, where everything feels like too much to handle, and suddenly I'm longing for someone to take care of me in a way I've never felt before. It's like this constant whisper at the back of my head, this deep need to just be treated like I'm back in childhood again, when things were simple and responsibilities weren't mine to carry. I didn't want to admit it for so long because it seemed silly, childish even, me, a full-grown adult wanting to play that role. But as the weeks turned into months, this little-space feeling grew stronger. I started researching what it meant to have these desires and stumbled upon DDLG content online. Reading through stories and experiences of others helped put words to my feelings. I've decided to start exploring this side of myself seriously now that I'm aware of it. The thought of playing a little or being taken care of in a playful, consensual way feels both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. There's this rush when I consider how I can find someone who respects my boundaries while understanding my needs. So here’s what I’m looking for: is there anything wrong with feeling like this? Is it normal to want someone else to take control of a situation, even if only in an imagined or role-played sense? How do you go about finding people who understand the nuances of adult littlespace dynamics without crossing any lines into territory that’s not okay? I don’t know where I’ll end up with this, but for now, it feels like one more piece of myself that’s coming to light. Maybe others have stories similar to mine, and if they do, maybe sharing will help us all understand a bit better what these desires mean in the larger context of our lives.
