This happens sometimes but you never really stop loving these old standbys. II have learned to love and even admire my old self for all sorts of reasons (which I think you do do).. Great sharing ! Thank you.
Thank you for reading, Christine. The question I come to at the end of this piece -- the question of how much escapism is valuable in one's life -- is, of course, highly personal. In the first installment of this series (https://artofconversation.substack.com/p/something-has-survived-re-reading), I looked more closely at the idea of appreciating the journeys we've each been on, from who we were to who we are. It's definitely worth nurturing some childhood innocence as we age.
