Stories for the kid


We never really “grow up”.

We always have the little kid from yesterday still there in our heads.

He’s just learning different stories.

When I was still a little kid I’ve always know the stories that made me who I am today.

The characters weren’t always so nice and i knew that but didn’t want

to except that for a long time.

until one day when I recognized when the plot twist these characters came with were coming.

The boy in my head never wanted to grow up but knew he had to if he wanted 

to add a happy ending to life’s treacherous story book.

Knowing I could get to a happy ending in each of life’s chapters is when I’ve grown as a person.
