never forget the dragons
So, it's been a fairly good week for issues, but instead of posting and raging over them, I've just done my raging privately and focused on my latest writing project. I'm very glad that I'm an artistic/creative person, because I have no idea what I would do with myself if I had no outlet for all of this. Although I wonder if high emotions and the more passionate mindset are connected to creativity. Do you think so?
Also, insightful view on my mind from the children:
Children: *after listening to Puff the Magic Dragon* But why is the song so sad at the end?
Me: The song's about becoming an adult and leaving childhood behind. Jackie grows up and stops believing in Puff and playing games, so Puff disappears, since all of that was only in his imagination. When you get older, you just forget about having fun as a kid, and that includes fairytale dragons.
Maddie: But you never forgot the dragons.
Me: ...Yes, well. Sometimes adults are just big kids.
I'm sure I have a mild case of Peter Pan syndrome. I just don't want to let go of the fun parts of childhood, like water balloon wars and ice cream and fun toys and just hanging out in a big playground every now and then. I guess 'never forget the dragons' is one of my philosophies on life.
