This piece, Carefree Days, was written by me in my early twenties.
It was inspired by the feelings of being aware as a newly minted adult, independent (in mind, even if not totally financially) and, finally, free!
Of course, a lot of that was in the mind, but I’ll never forget that hopefulness that I was finally standing on my own two feet and the world was boundless with opportunity and possibility.
On reflection, it occurs to me that we can experience that carefree feeling at any point in our lives, and it can be a momentary thing or a state of mind that we can carry with us.

Also, it’s a mindset that we can have, or if it doesn’t come naturally, we can work on to encourage its evolving so that we feel carefree and content to a great degree than we otherwise might.
That can manifest itself in being young at heart or just content in one’s own skin.
