Binge the World, One Journey at a Time

What does it mean to be a kid at heart?

This prompt is for me… because I truly am a kid at heart. Maybe that’s why life feels lighter, even with its share of problems. I’ve never taken things too seriously — sarcasm, taunts, gossip, anger, or harsh words don’t really get to me. And even if they do, it’s only for a while. I bounce back quickly, as if nothing ever happened.

Perhaps that’s why people sometimes take me for granted — but honestly, I’d still rather be this way.

🌸🌸🌸

I remember a former colleague who used to invite me to every party he hosted. At first, I thought it was out of friendship, until one day he bluntly asked me, “So, what have you achieved in life? Bought a house? A car?” That’s when I realized his real motive — to show off his success and have me spread the word.

Being a kid at heart also comes with its share of bad experiences. But even then, I choose to stay kind, simple, and unaffected — because the world may change, but I don’t want to lose the child within me.

Even during family get-togethers, you’ll mostly find me with the kids’ group — playing Bhoot Bhoot, Hide and Seek, Dumb Charades, or Uno. Their laughter, innocence, and pure joy make me feel alive.

And honestly, there really can’t be a better thing than being a kid at heart. 🌸✨

Stay curious, stay young at heart💞💜

Until next time… Take care 💕

Love 🌸🌸🌸🌸

    Shamitabh, that is a beautiful self-reflection on the joy and resilience of being a kid at heart!
    It’s clear you’ve found the secret to a lighter life: your ability to bounce back quickly from negativity and choose kindness and simplicity over being affected by the world’s harshness.
    Holding onto that inner child—the one who prefers laughter, innocence, and a game of Bhoot Bhoot—is a true gift. Keep nurturing that spirit!
    Stay curious and forever young at heart!
    Love Aparna 💕
    (btw I also love bhoot-bhoot
