When I was a kid, life was simpler. Every little problem could be solved with a kiss or a hug from my mom. I could get hurt but with my mom’s loving touch, the hurt goes away just like that. And my world was small yet my playground was wide. My mom was my world and the world was my playground.

And then I grew up.

Things are now complicated. Mom’s not here anymore to soothe away the hurt and pain. Mom’s not here to kiss or hug the problems away. My world became smaller and the world’s no longer a playground.

How I long to go back to those days when I was still a kid and life was so much more normal and simple…
