It’s less about the promise of mud, and more about when you’re a child, the world seems so much bigger and grander… and so you’ll find high adventure in even the most mundane and commonplace things.
For instance, my neighbors used to have this pit in their backyard filled with sand, and as kids we’d play in that thing for HOURS. Sometimes we’d build castles, sometimes we’d bring in toy trucks or action figures, but in EVERY instance, there were epic tales for the ages being written inside our tousled, dirt-caked heads.
Then I revisited it after coming home from my first year at college, and was dismayed to find it was just this… little hole in the ground. Call it personal growth or jaded adulthood — that perspective had irrevocably changed.
