    Mood: Nostalgic

    Can we go back to playing barbies on the bedroom floor?
    Playing baby dolls on rainy days?
    Or to those Saturday mornings of cartoons & a big bowl of Fruit Loops cereal?
    Can we go back to those summer days of frozen Capri Suns, popsicles, & all day swim sessions?
    Or to those skid knees from falling off bikes.
    Falling down from rollerblading.
    Can we go back to late night sleepovers at grandma’s house?
    Or those next morning wake up calls of fresh pancakes consuming grandma’s house.
    Can we go back to playing videos games all night?
    Playing the game tag all day outside?
    Can we go back to a time when it wasn’t rushing us to grow old?
    When time was less of our worries.
    Or to those summer days of riding bikes in dust storms feeling powerful?
    Can we go back to a time when feeling free was all we knew?

    • Heather, this takes me back to my childhood. My younger sister and I spent long summer days outside feeling as if they would never end. When we are children, we usually don’t realize the beauty of a life without adult responsibility. I’d love to go back too! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    • Heather, I so feel all of this, and these thoughts enter my head every now and then. Childhood was so magical and I never knew life would be so different when I grew up. Maybe it doesn’t have to be? Thank you for sharing. I am going to feature this piece in our newsletter today. <3 Lauren

      • Thank you for this! & thank you for sharing in the newsletter. Means so much to not just me but to my internal human who finds such zen in writing. She FINALLY feels heard. Her words are FINALLY being seen in a community that she’s searched for so long. Thank you!!
