• playing with each others hair
• riding the school bus together
• sharing secrets late into the night
• innocence
• open vulnerability
• trust in adults/the government
• faith
• wonder
• the need to have a boyfriend
• pressure to like someone/something you don't like
• playing make-believe
• having fun outside/enjoying nature
• simply being satisfied in each others company
• sharing dreams
• silently reading together
• writing & passing notes during class
• shared notebooks
• doodling in church
• daring to dream the impossible
• hope untainted
• not caring what other people think, just being ourselves
• bed-time stories & lullabies

• making funny faces to cheer each other up
• undivided attention
