I see little ones, on occasion, and I see their smiles and how each thing in the world delights them. I was enamored last night, the reason is irrelevant, but the purpose is true, and that is of my forlorn and mostly forgotten childhood. If only I had those memories and those moments back, the ones that I had only for a little time. And now

Maybe you should go on a pilgrimage somewhere. Wander the world for a while. Write and then come back?

well, it's a beautiful thought, too bad i'm an indentured servant for the next four plus years. Plus, i'm too scared to travel, especially alone, and don't have the prerequisite social skills. The strange thing, maybe i'd go to Korea with Josh, and wouldn't worry about social skills there. Damned social anxiety

Some lovely, yet bittersweet thoughts.

Question:
How does one strike a balance between retaining a child at heart and bearing all the responsibilities that come with being an adult?

[theredphoenix2]

i think we should eschew some of the "responsibilities" of being an adult, they're artificial and placed by this world. But many are necessary. I don't think we should stifle childish things, like imagination or fantasy, which we do.

what are those artificial responsibilities?
yep, i miss my imagination a lot
