The importance of growing down.
I never really got the chance to be a kid. From a young age, particular circumstances and experiences required that I be an adult from a very young age. I’ve always been mature (as much as someone with no life experience can be) and as a result of that, never really understood what “being a child” entailed. I’ve always been tremendously jealous of people when they talk about their childhood. Don’t get me wrong, I did lots of child things but I don’t really remember experiencing them. None of this makes any sense.
To get to the point, myself and others oft remark that I have no inner child, I’m a serious robot lady from the future currently tasked to destroy all joy in the lives of others. I’m just too responsible and I just want to be able to let go.
So, I am going to take it upon myself to grow down. Naturally, I will create an organised list of things I’d like to do because I’m ridiculous.
- Watch all of the old Disney films, like Cinderella, Snow White, Lion King etc.
- Spend the entire day in the park, rolling down hills, flying kites
- Have an imaginary friend.
- Just let go and go crazy and not give a shit about what anyone thinks.
- All day water fight
- Kick up every leaf I encounter (long-term til I die commitment)
- Get over my fear of bugs and play with them all
- Ruin all my clothes by jumping in mud
Suggestions welcome, I will add to the list when I think of more awesome ideas.
