Don't Forget To Be A Child At Heart Sometimes

Don't grow up, it's a trap.

Don't Forget To Be A Child At Heart Sometimes
Corrine Harding

With the type of personality I have, some may consider me immature or childish, but I would call myself embracing my inner child. I think in our fast-paced world we live in, we want to grow up so quickly and forget who we were when we were little, but I think it is so important to make sure to take a step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy life. I try my hardest to not forget about my inner child because this part of me gets to see the world in a different point of view. If you think about children's movies or books, they aren't just always based for children.

Many of these things have deeper meaning or messages than what is on the surface and remembering your inner your child is a way for you to gain more meaningful values throughout your life, no matter what your age is.

I try to find the fun or the excitement in everything going on around me. Life can be mundane and boring, and trying to find the joy in life is something that is good for the soul. Bringing pure energy to your life can make your world seem like it is always a beautiful sunny day. You can have fun anywhere, and life seems to be a party wherever you go. Life is too short to not love what you do, but it is important to know that your attitude is a thing that decides your happiness in life. Embracing your inner child is a stepping stone to seeing the world as a grand adventure rather than just being a hamster on a wheel.

The biggest thing about embracing your inner child is you appreciate all things in life, no matter how big or small. You have a pure sense of view and you have no filter on how you feel. You keep the ones that mean the most to you closest, and you know what makes you happy. You find joy in all things in your life, and sometimes you know that the smallest things in life can be the biggest moments.

Remembering your inner child reminds you of what is important in your life and that the moments that you can least expect can be life-changing.

As life goes in, do not forget about your inner child because it can open doors that you would never have opened before. You laugh a little longer, love a little harder, and never lose the magic. Having this type of perspective makes you fight for what you deserve, you just don't throw a tantrum when things don't go your way. In life, it is important to make sure you have different perspectives on life to be well-rounded and make the best decisions for you. Being realistic, optimistic, and a pessimist is important as well, but it seems like we forget one perspective, our inner child. Living your life with a child's perspective lets you be adventurous, honest, and forever young.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
