Treat yourself like a child today. Start your day with snuggles and a full belly. Go outside and see things for the first time, not the chore things. Look at a spiderweb, notice the dew on the grass, listen to the birds and Cicadas. Do this barefoot, throw a blanket on the ground and have a snack. No hurries, no worries, pull apart a dandelion, smell it, maybe taste it. A day of innocence and wonder. When someone speaks, really listen, but do what you want. Some of us grow up too fast.

We yearn to grow up, you desire independence. Why? Reflect on the milestones in your life, you have come a long way. Trial and error, natural consequences, poor judgement, but here you are. There is a reason for everything even the worst things, there was a lesson. Did you learn? Have you grown? Do you blame? Have resentment? Let it go, now is the time. There is a little you inside of you. We don’t control the past, it has happened. Make a new future.

Going backwards on a path is pointless, set the compass in front of you and go from there. Those things that hinder you can change. Change your mind and change your life. If you are stumbling, look for a better path. If you like the path, stay on it, see where it goes, stop worrying about what is around the next corner. Don’t fear it, enjoy it. Focus on the good things, recall happiness and make that a goal, even if just for one day.
