Gaze into a mirror. What do you see? Graying hair. Early signs of crow’s feet. Our metabolism may not be as fast. Our bodies may not be as energetic. Our backs may hurt in several places seemingly at random.
Despite all this, one thing still holds true. We were all young once.
We were always so excited to wake up each morning as we all knew that our Family Computer was waiting for us to help Mario and Luigi get to never-before reached worlds and levels. We used to sit around all day and watch our cartoons and anime, not having to worry about paying bills. Those were the days, huh?
We’re all adults now. But that shouldn’t suggest that we can no longer enjoy what our younger selves did. JP is here to remind us of our favorite characters. But even more so, his artworks are here to remind us to celebrate and enjoy life more through the eyes of the child in all of us. The child that never truly got lost in time. The Child at Heart.
We were all young once. Don’t worry, we still are. So let’s start living again. Aching backs and all.
