Remember when you were a kid, filled with laughter and imagination, and all you wanted to do was play? Somewhere along the way, many of us lose that sense of playfulness. We grow up, take on responsibilities, and before we know it, we’re buried under obligations with no room left for fun. Play gets sidelined, treated like a luxury, or considered only for children.
While we encourage children to play, there comes a point where we tell them it’s time to “grow up,” as if becoming an adult means leaving fun behind. Even the word “play” gets a makeover once we’re adults. It’s no longer called play—it’s rebranded as “leisure activities,” which doesn’t have the same ring to it.
