I want to play

Is there anything you feel too old to do anymore?

I keep seeing these writing prompts on my jetpack app. Today’s prompt is one I can’t ignore.

I want to go out when it rains and sing out loud. I want to run in the field and jump around like I have no cares or worries. I want to jump rope with my friends and play hand games. I want to feel the wind on my skin and even the sun too. I caught myself daydreaming about this a few times, I even put it in words in Play time

I want to play.

But I feel I’m too old, I can’t do this anymore.

Truth

You speak the truth and you assume that people believe you.

They don’t.

The world is in love with lies.

They are drawn to lies.

They are repelled by truth.

They prefer to hear the lies. It sounds very close to what they believe.

Nevertheless, I choose truth.

Maybe that’s why my mum named me so… Mimi (Truth).
