Unless You Become Like A Child

by - 11:06 AM

I will always and forever be young at heart. Honestly, I'm a goober who finds humor in puns & awkward moments. I could never be rid of my childlike mannerisms. Now, that's not to say I cannot be mature, because that would be entirely false. I just believe that life without gusto, laughter, and blind faith is a life without true happiness. If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, the opportunities would be limitless. We would love more, judge less, forgive often. Growing up is just a way to ensnare us human beings into leading a "normal" life. And who wants that? I want adventure. Being a child forever will satisfy that need, even if I stay where I am right now forever. Children are constantly discovering new things. They invoke intrigue. Without kids, we would be completely blind to the world around us that is so ready to be rediscovered.
My senior year of high school I had an English teacher who changed a lot of my perspectives about what my life really is. One time she showed us this random, hardback book that, upon opening, enthralled us all. Instead of using the book in a traditional manner (reading it), she had taken it with her on many adventures and filled it with a new kind of art. She had sketched faces of people she met, allowed others to draw in it, taped random findings from her adventures, and basically made this book a reflection of her life. I found it a wonderful prospect. Accordingly, I went to DI and found this little book to implement similar tactics.
There are always ways to enhance the way you see the world around you.
