SoulPancake: Five Year Old

So…for people who haven't heard of this book, SoulPancake, it is about chewing on life's biggest questions.  SoulPancake was originally founded by actor Rainn Wilson of NBC's The Office and his friends, Joshua Homnick and Devon Gundry in 2007. The book was designed to pose life's biggest questions about Arts, Sexuality, Religion, Spirituality, Creativity, Philosophy, etc. If you don't know yet, I'm OBSESSED with all of the pictures and questions in this book. It is an unique way to think about my life. With that being said, the question I'm exploring today: What do you miss the most about being five year old?

Honestly, I'm so youthful and childish. Most of the time, I admit that I'm actually only two year old, because I'm still in love with Disney Princess and Winnie the Pooh. No matter how old I'm becoming, how much I've grown, I'm still a little girl who cries about every happily-ever-after fairytale. But the reality doesn't lie, and I'm still growing older. But if you ask me what I miss the most about being five year old, I want to say it is that happy, simple life with my loving my parents I had. When I was a child, I had nothing to worry about. My mommy and daddy took care of me. Now my life has become more and more complicated, and stress has sneakily entered. Life was never easy, and never gonna be. But it's worth it. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed. Even so, we can never forget always being like five year old. Remember that time when all you know is smiling and being happy? YES. That's the attitude. And whoever is happy will make other people happy too. As we grow older, we have more things to worry about and we forget to smile and love. I miss being five year old and have my parents around me. Because I didn't realize leaving home happened to me that fast, and I had only lived with them for fifteen years. I love them. And now I realize that the most important thing we can do as humans is love each other, pure and simple. No rules, no labels, no outside forces...just love.
