I have this weird belief that many decisions adults make in life is based on us trying to feel like a kid again. My brother got married just recently to a girl that makes him laugh like a hyena every time she comes over.
Before that he was one of the most serious people ever.
He lost his boyish reckless laughter when he turned 13 or something.
I eat certain things in the Philippines that makes me remember home when I was 9 or 10. I think we’re more connected to our childhood than we think.
This doesn’t have much to do with what you were saying, but maybe that will add something.
