it’s the tenderness of kids for me.
previously, I thought it was about purity and innocence.
but as it turns out, kids are imperfect beings as well.
still, it's the tenderness of kids for me.
the curiosity.
the inquisitive nature.
the desire to learn and adventure.
the courageous nature to do it all.
that awe they possess for even the simple & frivolous things.
i.e the excitement of the zig zag jump that they believe is wholly extraordinary.
you know the one we hype and propel them to keep doing.
or the macaroni art & the makeshift jewelry that hangs in special places.
or the coloring pages that we marvel at and dote on even though they don’t quite mirror the original.
because bliss, happiness, entertainment, belief, & confidence.
again, it’s the tenderness of kids for me.
that tenderness that exudes joy in even the most mundane and even difficult of situations.
