Remember eight year old you?
It was back when you were completely unpractical.
You told yourself lots of senseless and silly things.
You continually told yourself that you could do impossible things.
You told yourself that fun is more important than fashion.
You told yourself that the five second rule was a universal law.
You told yourself that ketchup was a food group.
You told yourself that it’s not a party without a piñata.
You told yourself that it’s better to skip than walk.
You told yourself that you can make art out of anything.
You told yourself that if you hear your favorite song on the radio, you should sing along as loud as you can.
You told yourself that you should never turn down sprinkles on your ice cream.
You told yourself that obstacles were an opportunity to climb.
You told yourself that puddles were a chance to make a splash.
You told yourself that people were all the same and that it’s easy to make new friends.
Why in the world did you stop listening to that you?
