We discover, we learn. Life is a marvel. We are Happy, complete, basic, and most of all, full of imagination. As time passes, we forget or become desensitized to the joys that are inherent to living: a sunny afternoon, a flower picked from the yard, ice cream melting on your fingers, fast shoes, laughter...we turn into drones. our life turns into existence.
