Letting out my inner child..
Finding joy in the simple things..
Building castles in the sand..
Giggling and being free.

My curious mind wondered..
What will tomorrow hold?
Castles in sand could be washed away..
Reminding me that nothing is truly permanent.

Our hopes and dreams can all be gone when life set in..
As fragile as it could be..
But we dream anyway..
Hoping for the best.

We take the first step
Not knowing what lies ahead of us..
Oh! How I miss being a child
When I kept my worries at bay.

I miss how I danced in the rain..
Played and whistled..
How I wasn't scared of being vulnerable..
The only fear I had was losing my loved ones.

How I miss basking in the sun..
Watching the sunset
Taking one day at a time
Living every moment to the fullest..

Suddenly, my childhood days washed away..
And all that's left to hold on to are memories..
With dreams and hopes..
That I may find genuine happiness.

As I build a castle in the sand today..
Every foundation reminded me of life.
I'm once again reminded of the figurative meaning of building castles in sand..
I'm reminded of the insecurities that comes with life..
How fickle life can be..

The unsure journey ahead of us..
Broken promises..
Fragile relationships and how uncertain life can be.

Even though life can quickly ebb away..
I will live it to the fullest..
Knowing I have no regrets for missing out on some shots..
I will set goals and reach them.

I will dream and achieve it!
I will live it and not just exist..
I will explore and take the risk

And if I perish, I Perish..
After all, nobody really gets out of life alive.

Amie,
