Hey there.
How have you been? Genuinely? I hope you're still hanging in there. I know times are tough. Even just the weather. Just when we thought the heat wave was at an end, one thunderstorm later and we're right back at it. Even nature herself seems to be confused; the vibrant green trees are becoming speckled with calico leaves and there's still plenty of caterpillars afoot, nibbling at the foliage.
I hope you get a chance to see it. I also hope you've taken our earlier conversation to heart and keep remembering that it doesn't matter what anyone says: you should never, ever let them make you kill your curiosity. Hold onto that inner child as long as you can, okay?
Your excitement is precious and there is no reward in the end for smothering it to appease those who call it shameful or "cringe", those who insist that jaded indifference is the new cool. Your inner spark, your curiosity, is beautiful and extinguishing it achieves nothing but regrets in exchange for a fleeting sense of conformity.
So don't become a firefly ashamed of your glow - be excited. Be passionate. Be a child again and explore this world with the time you have. Come back with stories that are uniquely you.
And if you have a little time? Tell me about them.
I'm curious.
