Your inner child

No matter how old and mature we are, I believe, there is always that little mini- version of ourselves, who never grows.Sometimes that small child just unexpectedly shows up and does something peculiar or bizzare, which strangers can consider weird and start judging.Despite my age, early thirties, I let myself being childish sometimes. Whenever I see big fluffy teddy bear in the store, I use any chance to hug it. Whenever I feel like eating ice-cream or chocolate, I turn to capricious spoiled child, asking hubby to buy me that. I still like watching Disney cartoons. I still read fairytales and dream of magic kingdoms and elves. Sometimes I just think, I need to grow up, but that inner child holds me back.What do you think, Is it so bad to be a bit childish? And what about yourself. Are you childish sometimes?

I think it is important to keep that trait or we're going to be crazy. Being an adult can be so stressful at times.

We need times to just let go and have fun like when we were kids.

That is absolutely true. Being always adult is just boring and stressful. Just let go your problems and have fun sometimes

Sometimes? Everyday. There’s a time where I want to be loved just a kid. I still watch cartoons, draw for fun, play video games and play with my nieces like a kid.

Well, I like all the dogs, no matter what breed, size. They are all cute for me, even those, who are not considered cute.

@BelleStarr I see! That's quite tough when life teaches the child to grow up faster before time.

Sometimes, we adults, forget how to easy it is to be childlike and be filled with wonder and curiosity. T opposite of child-likeness is childishness-- selfish whiny, complaining, sooky, foolish.

There isn't nothing wrong about keeping that inner child alive! Please never let her die! You were once one, why hiding it? I know we have grown up, it's a fact! But that doesn't necessarily mean that we are not allowed to be a child. I love watching cartoons, anime, etc! Being a child sometimes gives me life!

I am happy you understand me.

Cartoons are my weekness too. Being all time serious and mature sometimes can be so boring.
