Description I've been inspired by a host of things lately that involve bits and pieces of storytelling and childhood. A lot of this piece is influenced by Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Haven't heard of it? It's this highly under-rated Disney movie that just kind of slipped between the cracks over the years, and a personal favourite of mine. Should definitely check it out if you haven't seen it. IT'S FULL OF BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION AND EXPLOSIONS. a;flks;fsdkajkg;dkfjghg Ahem.

Now to address the issue of this piece:

There's the nagging of a certain feeling I’ve been having lately. The loss of something. That feeling we lose touch with as we grow up. When we trade in our paper swords for collared ties, our cardboard cars for a second-hand Honda, or our monopoly money for rent. It's the absence of the brilliance in our belief that we can do anything. It’s this feeling that we miss, and we try to understand again as the years grow us older. The little explorer within all of us.

GAH. Sorry to sound so sentimental, but this holiday season is bringing out the inner nostalgic doofus in me.

Merry Christmas everyone.

That's a cute entry including a nice story.

Hope you'll find the little big adventurer in yourself again.
It's very sad if you loose it, at least at your age.

I am more than the double of your age and still hold on to it (no matter
what other people think about me)

Good luck and ...
happy adventuring

Your being sarcastic when you say "little" right? You know like calling that one guy from robin hood "tiny" when he's giant-sized, or calling a clean freak "sloppy joe".

ahaha hey again, you. sarcasm? sure!
the little guy up there is like 10x the size of that astral planet.


(he has a fairly gigantic head too lolol but that's besides the point)
