Day 28 : Do something you love everyday.

When we were kids, we used to do all the things we liked. Or, maybe I shouldn't be the spokesperson for everyone and say *I* did all the things I liked to do. These things were:
Coloring
Reading
Video Games
Watching a tv show/cartoon I LOVED (Inspector Gadget and/or Ducktales)
Talking to my best friends (omg wait, I just remembered I loved Gummi Bears and Tale Spin too)
Listening to music
Writing stories


And somewhere along the way, maybe when I was a teenager, I thought I was too cool for all that stuff. I feel like this could have happened to all of us at some point.


"Someday, you'll be old enough to start reading fairy tales again

I came across this quote one day in my mid-twenties and thought, what the hell could that even mean? But there is so much wisdom in this one line. I think a lot of times we get told that when you're an adult, you've got to worry about taxes and the economy and paying your rent on time. Or we feel like the most important thing to talk about is politics or current events. I mean, yeah, that's all fine, but there's something to be said for the adult who's still in touch with their childhood, who remembers what kept them feeling the calmest and what made them the most happy. I'm not saying that you should color and play Super Mario every night after work (even though, that sounds effing amazing) but remember who you were and don't get lost in the whole adult responsibility thing.
