I read recently, becoming a better grown up has a whole lot to do with being more like a child. 🤍 May be all revive the search and the magic that comes with unknown quests!
This is so essential - thank you for writing such an inspiring essay.
"My childhood self did not spend all of her free time drinking, watching TV, or scrolling. She didn’t center her life around any one thing, like school or work. She wasn’t compelled to normalize. My childhood self continuously reached for something, like a beacon of light on the horizon that never became any closer despite her strides. She read, she wrote, she danced, she cried, she played, she fought, she loved and she hated. She stood up for herself and others in brave and sometimes aggressive ways. She felt. She went for it despite the fear. She cared. She lived. She tried. She searched."
100% agree with you - Moana is an amazing movie. I love your evening ritual, and the idea of switching between different books. I'll be borrowing that tip. :)

Let me know if you have any recommendations :)
I love how you carved out intentional time in the evening by changing some habits.
Your last paragraph spoke to me. So lovely.
Always searching to be more like my childhood self ❤️
