I still carry the child I once was, the one who marveled at the smallest wonders and laughed without hesitation, who believed the world was full of magic waiting to be touched.

Even as the weight of the world presses in, it flickers softly, a reminder that joy can endure, that some part of me will always run barefoot through wonder.
