Simple Joy

I was sitting at the terrace of my auntie’s house. Beside me was my 22 years old cousin.
We’re waiting for the new year count down, while watching our 5-7 years old bros & sis playing around the house. It seemed that they were playing hide-and-seek, catch-me-if-you-can, or anything they could think about, but one thing for sure, I could see in their faces that they were honestly having fun and very happy.
Then suddenly my cousin said..

Ad: “What a simple joy…” {with his eyes were still staring at our bros & sis}
Me: “Yeah, You’re right. I envy them. I found that I need more complicated stuff to make myself in the same level of happiness as they are.”
Ad: “Yeah, we, grownups, we’ve lost our innocence.”
Me: “I have to learn from them.. how this life should be… *sigh*”
Ad: “You got it, Bro! Happy New Year!”
Me: “Happy New Year too, Dude!”
