21. Child You Knew What You Liked

Feeling nostalgic and found an old photo of me as a kid in roller skates with My Little Ponies. It reminded me of how confident I was and how much I loved skating. As an adult, I tried skating again but felt clumsy and gave up. But looking at this photo, I realized that if child me could do it, then I can too. So I'm challenging myself to reclaim my dormant talent and I challenge you to do the same with something you loved as a kid. When we fall down, we get back up again. Let's channel that anything is possible energy and enjoy something just to enjoy it, not for likes or money. Child You was pretty amazing.
