Play like a kid, no seriously, do it!

Charlie Dorsett (they/she)

Aug 10, 2014

I spent the day playing with my characters like I did when I was a kid.

I love this, and I recommend everyone find something they used to love to do as a kid and DO IT! Reconnecting with that childlike magic is worth the effort.

For me, I used to carry around all these journals and just write in them. It was one of my favorite things to do. It got so bad that in high school, I carried a second book bag around with me that had all of my journals and stories in it.

I forgot how freeing it is to just write and play with ideas without being critical of the words I was writing. I feel amazing.

Join me. What did you used to love to do as a child, and what was it like to do it now as an adult?
