I’m not sure about that, although I used to think that, too. The part you said about sometimes wanting to squish his spirit down a little… makes me wonder if it’s the opposite. If we could shove a balloon pump into ours and blow it back up to the size it used to be when we were 5, maybe that’s the real secret. Maybe the real key to life is figuring out how to get to adulthood without crushing our spirit.
