Chloe

You find wonder at the smallest things in life, a flower, bubble wrap and jumping in puddles after a rain storm. Love is given without the expectation of reciprocation or transactionally. Laughter without constraint and happiness for no specific reason. Kisses with your mouth open. Acceptance without judgment. No scars from behind hurt in the world, an undisturbed existence. You could be anything you want to be. Untouched, pure and uncorrupted. Not programmed by today’s society or parental expectations. So new and innocent you don’t even have expectations, wants or needs, just existing. No fear, a free human doing whatever you want. Wild and free, smiling and having fun exploring and not being afraid. Not worrying about the past or the future, just living in the present moment. As meaningless and pointless as that may seem to the “grown up” people. You harbor a sense of wonder about the world, oblivious to the horrors that are separate from your world.  Sleeping soundly without a single second lost about thinking about stuff that doesn’t matter in your realm. Just being unconditionally and authentically you.

I envy you, what I wouldn’t do to have what you have, a fresh slate, a chance to be whomever or whatever I want to be.

Hold on…
