Child within us

Most of the time, among my friends, I behave like a child, careless, free, uninhibited and most importantly unapologetic. Sensible ones think that there is something wrong with me, try to dissuade me from being a child like or sometimes employ cuss words to display their frustration clad affection but frankly speaking, for me, being a child in the company of friends and people I care about is to unload all the heaviness of day to day life and be free, fun, curious and stubborn about trivial matters.

I believe that each one of us can keep alive the child within us. I like the adage-"Life is too short to be taken seriously."  Life is full of surprises and when things go out of control, it forces people to have a serious demeanour around everybody, try to create an impression of their being strong and serious. I feel it should be the other way around. Happiness and living in the moment have a unique impact on our way of thinking and what better way than to celebrate life like a child- pure and innocent, without any baggage of the past, always ready to try one more time despite falling again and again, never complaining always enjoying the process rather than the final result.

It is alright to be foolish and stupid for a while without thinking of what people around you will say. Try it once for your own sake...
