Raise your hand if you ever feel like you are simply a child playing DRESS-UP in this big, grown-up world. I often feel like I am merely posing as an adult who has it all together. Balancing on a TIGHT-ROPE of uncertainty. Trying not to let people see the inner-CHILD that is straining to burst free. Well, guess what: I know that I'm not alone! We are all just big kids stumbling through this life.
We will FALL. We will reach out for that hot stove despite the warnings. We will get ROUGHED UP a bit. We might even eat a worm here or there. BUT, it is important how you embrace this journey. When you fall, PICK YOURSELF UP again. When you get burned, LEARN from it. When things get rough, KEEP WALKING TALL. When you eat the occasional worm, just LAUGH AT YOURSELF (and perhaps switch to the gummy kind in the future...) Oh, and don't be afraid to let people see the inner-child shine through!
Honesty, Vulnerability, Curiosity, Humility, Eagerness and Laughter are excellent qualities to have.
PLUS, kids have more FUN!!
Amen. You are an inspirational writer. I still feel like a kid, like an impostor, especially as a mom. Love you.
