Everyone has the days that they remember the most.
They have the moments that you were looking forward to the most.
I still get my palms to sweat when I do certain activities.
The first time I went to Disneyland as an adult, I was more excited than I ever remember.
The first time I went on the big roller coaster at Six Flags, I still remember how my stomach felt all queasy.
I remember how I felt when I first picked up my first date.
I remember how I felt jumping on the freeway for the first time.
The first time I hit 80 on the freeway is fresh on my mind.
I’m not sure if I’ve started to take those things for granted, but I’m on my way to the countdown of 500 days before I turn 30, and I want to feel all of those things again.
I want to feel excited about cruising on my way to the beach and having all the windows open.
I want to get excited about going on a date and getting nervous about the entire planning piece.
I want to feel the feeling when I was in the playground, and my crush was on the monkey bars.
I want to feel the same feeling I felt when I was in a competitive game of basketball during our recess times.
I want to yell, “Kobe” when I shoot a fadeaway.
I want to be able to yell “and one” when I finish shooting my layup.
I want to be able to feel the same way I felt when I first started my first day of work.
The feeling I felt during my first presentation and my first speech.
I want to feel the feeling of speaking up about something I didn’t like in a work conference call.
I want to feel the feeling of having a clean desk all the time and having all my work drawers clean.
I want to have the feeling of getting lost in a city and not using my phone to figure it out.
I want to spend money irresponsibly just because I can.
I want to eat food at a food truck, and just people watch as I eat.
I want to feel the feeling of just looking at the sunrise, just like it was the first time.
I want to take a cheesy picture looking at the sunset just because I can.
I want to feel everything all over again.
