I love being a child! Loads of pampering, lots of love and a most lovely family and a bunch of good friends makes it all the more pleasurable!
The sweet childish looking face or the innocent naive attitude,the anytime- unstoppable laughter or the bubbling energy;its all enough evidence of the child within me which just doesn't know what being serious and grown-up- like means!
Just as I begin to feel the maturity in my thoughts,the responsibility in my actions when circumstances demand so;there is the silliness of the heart which takes over especially in times I am feeling vulnerable and low! Its not escapism nor running away from realities,its just a comfort and inherent joy which makes life look beautiful as it seemed when I was a child!
When I am a child there is just pure love in the air,an innocence in every gesture,where friendships and family ties are precious! Everything is a game and all worries just melt away and every moment looks like a gift.
Even crying comes so naturally and so does the healing of wounds once I surrender myself to that child within. There is safety in being a child, there is joy in being a child!
Among children the child in me comes into its own;it becomes so involved and engrossed that its hard to believe its mind is that of an 18 year old. It can be crazy and silly and throw tantrums at times;it can turn irritating and annoying when it takes hold of me at the wrong time.
The child in me is lovely and I would never let it go,but without the discipline and intelligence to counter its innocent charm,it might just get labelled as immaturity and stupidity in a world full of demands!
I wish to grow and explore,to spread my wings and fly,to gain in knowledge and wisdom and accomplish a lot more than what I have!
I still want that nurturing,that comfort and that love;but also a sense of respect and confidence of having principles to stand by!
Along this process,there is one thing I wouldn't ever leave,the child in me would always remain;the smile, the enthusiasm would never wane and keep charming all those who say;"You never seem to change!!"
