Anyone else remember the feeling of the 'child matrix' before school?

Sometimes I get this weird flashback of how the world felt before I learned names for everything—like reality was a softer, more connected place. Does anyone else try to describe that pre-category headspace to people and just get blank stares?

Yeah, I remember it as less of a “matrix” and more like the world itself was still breathing — like the edges between me and everything else hadn’t hardened yet.

Yeah, I remember it less as a “matrix” and more like the world just kind of breathing with you — school definitely snapped that into rows and schedules.
