Frank, you’ve hit on the raw truth of how our collective humanity got buried under layers of "playing it safe" and outside noise. We spent years unlearning our natural spark just to fit in, but reclaiming that kid in the Batman cape starts with refusing to settle for being a spectator in our own lives. This season, let’s flip the script; by choosing those small, gutsy acts of kindness you mentioned, we aren't just helping others—we’re actively digging ourselves out and finding our way back to that original, unshakable joy. Merry Christmas, my friend!
