I love being childlike. People sometimes confuse this with childish, but that I am not. Childlike brings me joy, laughter, and connection. Childish would cost me my job, possibly some relationships, and respect. Childlike means rolling in the grass, cracking silly jokes, coloring with crayons, and playing thumb war. Childish means bullying, story-telling, and wanting others to be responsible for me. Be childlike, whatever that is for you. Allow yourself that freedom. Wonderful post. “You may have to grow old, but you never have to grow up.” _–my mom. :)
