Life got so serious I forgot how important it is to just laugh have fun and that little me would be so proud of me right now.
Maybe growing up isn’t about becoming more serious. Maybe it’s about remembering you were never meant to be serious all the time.
Somewhere between becoming responsible, healing, building a life and trying to have everything figured out, you can accidentally lose the part of you who laughed loudly, played without purpose and did things simply because they were fun.
Maybe that younger version of you isn’t looking at who you became and asking you to achieve more. Maybe she’s just relieved you finally remembered how to enjoy being alive.
