Dear Humans,

Fads come and go. You might think the latest pop-it you bought from Amazon.com is the greatest thing in the world. (Some of your toys are pretty cool!) But it will eventually end up in one of those big blue bins behind Goodwill.

I’ve seen pogs, slap bracelets, Silly Bandz, fidget spinners, slime, and squishies. I’ve even bought some of these things myself. One second they seem to be everywhere, and then, all of sudden, they’re gone. These things pass the time, but time quickly leaves them behind. 

Look for the things that last. They’re not really that hard to find: they’re the things without price tags on them. Time with friends and family, meaningful words, and big ideas about the world. These are the things that will never go out of style.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
