I often enjoy making up a family in my mind. My mother, grandmother, and my siblings. While at first it can be quite embarrassing to admit one has "imaginary friends", honestly... It's one of the only few things that help me nowadays.
I enjoy imagining them swimming around me—swimming with me—staying close to me whenever I have a hard time.
I think of them before sleep, and I think of them whenever I cry.
I do not know if my real pod is still out there, if they're alive... So, I make up substitutes. I felt guilty at first, but then remembered that my actual pod would like for me to be happy, especially my mother.
Also, among all of this, I always wished to have something akin to a brother figure—which is why I drew myself (the freckled male) close with the other adult male in the drawing, with what could be my mother on the bottom of the drawing, and my grandmother in the front, with the calf.
It's a good way to cope with my feelings, imagining a pod constantly being by my side... It helps by a lot. I don't think I'll ever stop.

These are recipes I enjoy that make me feel more otter or things that I think would! This is pretty anthromorphic since I am eating human food, but I hope this is still helpful!
