To feel 12 again.
Giggles, bouncing, and words that roll too quickly off the tongue.
Words seem to spew out of our mouths as our stories become all the more animated with the passing of time.
Hands move quickly with the speech, and smiles radiate off faces.
Laughter takes over and the soul is light.
Warm days, warm hearts, good friends.
The past couple weeks have remained a roller coaster for me. Some very low emotional times followed by very high emotional moments.
It makes me realize how quickly and fickly this life passes by. Moments and feelings fade but friends and memories remain.
I want to encourage you to take a day and be 12 again. Be careless, be giddy, be silly. After all if memories and friends are what remains, go out and make some memories, and strengthen your friendships. Remember what it means to have the naiveté, joy, and new delight of a 12 year old.
Let the sun warm your face, big hugs embrace your soul, and the moment fill you up.
Giggles, bouncing, and words that roll too quickly off the tongue.
