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.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
