At 21 years-old, I am the biggest child at heart than I ever have been. As an adult, I love reminiscing about the obsessions of my childhood that filled me with joy, curiosity and passion. To this day, they really have not changed. The obsessions of my childhood mainly consisted of Power Rangers, Spider-man and the Legend of Zelda video game Ocarina of Time. I still cannot help but geek out over the revival and re-imaging of my favorite past times as a child. These topics forever left a lasting impression on my personality and helped create who I am today.
Holding onto the nostalgia of my childhood makes me appreciate the advancement of my favorite topics over the years but also effects the way I approach life. Finding joy in the little things that I come across me in life keeps me going. I get excited when the smallest of things happen and let it build my motivation and energy. My personality is based on the nerdy and geeky things in life and I would never change who I am. I am proud of my childish heart. Many of those who know me, understand that I am not too serious unless I need to be and that I will never grow out of my childish heart.
Having a childish heart lets me connect differently with my younger siblings, allowing me to bond with them over old and new trends but still be a role model. They see me carry myself with a light heart and a fun attitude that I hope I never lose. Being a child at heart does not mean I am immature or cannot function as an adult, it simply means that I enjoy things as simple as a child would and it is something that will remain with me forever.
