The child inside

We are all adults. We have responsibilities, tight schedules, a specific budget and a serious face. Our everyday life, our routine, is a ring (not the bling-ring, the other one) where we have to fight for a plethora of goods and rights. It is also a ring that represents all the commitments we have made in our lives that we have to stand for. We are stressed about our job or about the fact that we have no job, about not having time or how to schedule our time, about being there for loved ones or about loved ones that should be there for us… Our lives are like a music video clip in fast forward.

But, once in a while, we gotta stop and smell the roses or else all the above is nonsense. We have to relax and interact with our inner selves, listen at our desires and our needs and let free the child inside. This can be a magnificent experience, one of those that open our minds, our hearts, our creativity and the feeling that all possibilities are open and await us.

Try experiencing something that you loved as a child without repressing your spontaneity; try to relive it not as a respectful adult but as a child. Go back to that age when you dreamt of becoming a ballerina or a ninja or an astronaut, and see your adult self through your eyes of that age and then follow your impulse without any censure. Oh, how relieved you shall feel... We have the right to be spontaneous, to act silly. We have the right to Nonsense!
