Where The Wind Lives: summary help?

Tweet

I've started writing a short story titled "Where The Wind Lives", but I've been having some trouble. This isn't a genre that I'm used to writing and the voice is completely different from what I usually work with. It's almost reminiscent of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, if you've ever read the book. I'm about halfway through it now and people keep asking me what it's about, but I'm terrible at summaries. I was hoping someone might be able to give me some pointers? I'll post a brief summary below: When I turned eight years old, I realized that I was no longer a child. Desperate to keep what little bit of youth I had left, I set out in search of the person I used to be. They say that the best place to find something that's lost is where the wind lives, or so I was told, but no one seemed to know where to that was. So, with my reflection as my companion and a shooting star as a ride, I left home to find myself. And it kind of fizzles off there. That's the basic gist of it, but it sounds terribly boring from that synopsis and I just don't know what to do to liven it up. Any help would be very greatly appreciated!
