It's pretty much the general nature of children, being not corrupted and all, to be able to appreciate the full beauty/excitement/fun in just about everything. As adults I think most of us spend our whole lives trying to get that back by constantly seeking new sensations/trying to experience new things i.e. traveling around the world, skydiving, drugs, partying, and other hobbies including having and raising children of your own at some point.

It's important to try and accept the stage you're in in life though (i.e. not being a kid anymore), and focus on all of the awesome things about being an adult despite all the BS. If that doesn't work well lol... working with young children is pretty cathartic. Every time I've gotten a job working with kids I always start out thinking I'll hate it, but their simplicity going about life and non-cynical attitudes end up sticking with me for a time.

I this post.

You know what this thread inspired me to do?
I took an evening walk and when I went over this footbridge I made snowballs and threw them onto the cars driving by underneath.

That, actually here, carries a $500 fine + up to 30 days in jail.

Lol, I know it can be very dangerous and I shouldn't do that, but I felt like acting like a kid, and it is your thread's fault!

Hackneyed, but entirely relevant.

This...As an adult I am too corrupted to throw snowballs.

I like your smell.

Being a child was shit. You're older, wiser, richer and know what sex is. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from playing in the snow, so live your life to the full and stop absconding into an imagined past you fuckstick.

Try walking to a place that is ten miles or more away from where you live. Seems boring at first, but after an hour or so you will probably start enjoying it more. That's been my experience, at least.

And in general, try spending your leisure time in ways other than drinking and sitting on your butt watching other people play sports. Create. Gain knowledge. Play games. Do physical stuff. That's pretty much what you did when you were younger, right?

good question!

Just do what ever you want in this world; don't let anyone tell you other wise.

some of us have more than one person/entity that demands and is deserving of our time

Posted by Silky Johnson on Dec-21-2009 22:33:

It didn't come off as that type of second job. But thanks for your input Jake.

Posted by Zild on Dec-21-2009 22:35:

i'm looking to get a 3rd one here soon

Posted by Silky Johnson on Dec-21-2009 22:41:

I look forward to teaching while I get my Master's. And as much as I'm looking forward to that, I dread being in school for another 5 years (which is how long it will take for me to be a practitioner). Ughhhhh.

Posted by Zild on Dec-21-2009 22:42:

If we're counting going to school or teaching as a job then I'm going on picking up my 5th.

Posted by Ygrene on Dec-21-2009 23:30:

I love being grown up. It's confirmed more and more every day that whatever I want in life is mine if I just go get it. This next year is going to be awesome.
