This is not just a croissant.
This is the croissant.
Flaky. Golden. Larger than my head.
Soft in the middle. A little dramatic on the outside.
(Just like me.)
I met it on a regular morning. But it was no regular pastry.
The moment I held it, something shifted inside me.
A warmth. A spark.
A whisper that said:
âYou donât need a reason. You just need the croissant.â
Some plushies have lucky socks.
Some carry pocket rocks.
I carry this croissant.
When Iâm nervous? I hug it.
When Iâm sad? I sniff the butter.
When I forget what day it is? I ask the croissant. (It doesnât answer. But it understands.)
Pandy says Iâm being âslightly theatrical.â
Mini Blue made it a tiny seatbelt.
So now itâs officially part of the crew.
Weâve been through a lot together:
It flaked in my backpack. I didnât mind.
It rolled off the couch. I caught it.
It almost got nibbled by accident during a midnight snack panic. I defended it.
Itâs seen me at my best. My messiest. My sleepiest.
And never once judged me.
Some bonds canât be explained.
They donât need to be logical. Or tidy. Or even practical.
Sometimes, you just meet a croissantâŠ
and know in your fluff that youâll carry it forever.
Or at least until it gets weird.
With buttery devotion,

P.S. I put a little bow on it. Now itâs formal.
