It always seems to be something one thinks about at the moment.

You are doing something and you think, “I’m just a kid at heart”.

Or an observation.

“James is just a kid at heart”.

I’ve been giving my answers, even some vaguely for 25 posts. Let’s have some fun. I am going to ask ChatGPT this question and leave it at that.

Being “a kid at heart” means maintaining a sense of playfulness, wonder, and enthusiasm about life, regardless of age. It’s the ability to find joy in simple things, stay curious, and approach the world with a bit of innocence and optimism. People who are kids at heart often have an open-minded, imaginative, and lighthearted approach to life, allowing them to adapt to new experiences with excitement rather than caution or skepticism. It doesn’t mean they’re immature but rather that they cherish youthful qualities like spontaneity, creativity, and a zest for fun.

Being a kid at heart can add warmth and joy to everyday life, inspire creativity, and help one stay resilient in the face of challenges.
