I am Lucky Enough to Have Never Lost the Child in Me

I always used to be self conscious about my tendency to revert back to a child-like

stage, such as watching Bluey to wind down before bed, being drawn to colorful

stuffed animals at the store, drawing with chalk, and asking ‘silly’ questions.

Entrepreneurship has taught me that these activities that I once thought were quirks

are actually exercises to wake up my creative thoughts and actions. Now, I see these

qualities as something beautiful that sets me apart. Reverting back to a child-like state

allows me to see the world differently than others around me and I am not afraid to

embrace them.
