I think that being a kid at heart means different things to different people.

For me, when I feel like a kid at heart is when I’m out doing something carefree, without the worry of outside restraints or stressors. As an adult, it is often hard for me to take time for myself and just do something fun. On the back of my mind is always housework, laundry, parenting obligations, etc, that make it hard for me to just go out and enjoy an activity or free day.

I think having a carefree spirit and optimism makes someone a “kid at heart”. As we grow older, the harder it is to hold on to that feeling and mindset. It it is something I try to hold onto and hope I never completely lose.
