"Be as adventurous and fearless & courageous as you were when you were young....."
~Lauren Rebecca
When I think back to when I was child, I miss how daring and fearless I was.
I would catch snakes and hide in the woods and live without hesitation.
As you get older,
Some of that courage and sparkle starts to dwindle.
Why?
I'm not really sure. But I miss it.
I see Scarlett growing and flourishing. It brings me back to my childhood.
And I yearn to be that little girl all over again.
No worries.
Just living in the moment and doing what makes me smile. I think there is something magical about children. They don't know all the heartache of this world and thus they live daringly.
I feel like I have forgotten who I was at 4 or 8 or 11.
Scarlett is my little reminder to try and live like I did when I was young.
Isn't it amazing just how much their wonder at the world opens your eyes to things in a completely new way? I love it. You're a great mom :)
