Remember




            Remember how life used to be when you were just a child?

            It used to be sweet, light, loving and bright. It used to take you on the
            wildest  adventures,  through  forests  of  tall  pines  and  jungles  filled
            with intricate mazes of fun and good times. And no, it didn’t matter
            that  those  weren’t actual forests  nor  jungles,  but only  your  grand-
            parents’  backyard.  It  didn’t  matter  because you  somehow  had  this
            magic power of turning everything around you into a wonderful play-
            ground.

            Oh, the excitement…the impatience…

            Remember  how  you  didn’t  know  time,  and  he  didn’t  know  you.
            When you only knew it was time to go back inside just because it was
            getting dark.

            Remember how you treated everyone you were meeting as a friend
            and later as a best friend, and not as a competitor and later as an
            enemy. You didn’t judge people, even though you didn’t like every-
            one. You just told them if something bothers you or if somehow you
            weren’t on the same page. Things like “diplomacy” weren’t even an
            actual thing. Everything was too simple for notions or definitions.

            For real now, do you remember?
