The Narratives – Mohamed Miah

For me, being a kid at heart isn’t about ignoring the realities of adulthood or shrugging off responsibilities; it’s about finding ways to connect with my children and go into their world, even if just for a little while. It means being able to laugh, play, and have fun together, breaking away from the everyday pressures and simply being present. When I let go of my worries, act silly enough to embarrass them, and we all end up laughing—that’s the heart of it. It’s as if the weight of adult life disappears, and I get to feel a bit of that freedom again, all while making memories with them.

There’s something special about these moments where I make people laugh, even if it’s at my expense. Those laughs are worth it. Whether it’s a ridiculous joke, a funny face, or just being downright daft, those are the times that remind me of what’s truly valuable. It’s the connection, the joy, and the shared laughter that I want to hold on to and that I hope they carry with them.

Being a kid at heart gives me a chance to be part of their world, to see things from their eyes, and to make them feel like they can be themselves without judgement. And even though I know that reality will pull us back eventually, for those moments, we’re just there, together, in an innocent way. It’s about holding onto that purest spirit before returning to the roles and routines, feeling a little lighter in ourselves and a little closer to others each time.
