In this episode of The Garage Mind, we talk about something nobody really prepares you for: the quiet moment when childhood fades and adulthood takes over. When did we stop being kids… and why do we still feel that little kid inside us trying to come out?

Born in 1988, I grew up on Saturday morning cartoons, cereal, and theme songs like DuckTales that still get me hyped today. Now I’m a grown man with bills, responsibilities, and a life to manage — but I still believe it’s vital to keep that kid inside alive. From nostalgia, to Disney trips with my wife, to random days where I throw on old shows just to reset my soul, this episode is all about why fun, wonder, and play matter just as much in adulthood as they did when we were young.

If you’ve ever felt torn between “acting your age” and still wanting to enjoy the things you loved as a kid, this one’s for you.
