Apparently for a 24yr old I’m a little too serious about life. Which I kinda don’t think is true. I just get so caught up in tryna ensure that I actually make something of this huge crazy leap of faith adventure I sent myself on by jumping outta school and into music. For the most part though I’m extremely happy.

But when faced with the revelation that I’m a little too serious, my response was…

Oh shit stop right there ! I sounded like one of the suits I so stubbornly refused to become. While I may be doing what I love and following my heart’s desires I guess I may be forgetting the reasons why I set out on this path as opposed to the other less exciting one.

So my mission, should I choose to accept it, is to at least once a week try to live like a child. Instead of worrying about the big things, I’m gonna set aside a time when I can just free-fall and enjoy the little things. I thought enjoying a bag of skittles was doing just that, but after the Monday I had I’m pretty certain that there’s other little things that deserve my smile too.

All this learnt thanks to a two hour rollerblading session along the ocean and through a park, wind blowing in my hair over my bald head and the sweat dripping down my balls. Freedom and unbridled fun. Plus it helps that I nearly fell but never actually got round to it.

So here’s a little something I found on a blog I like to check in on from time to time, by The Confidence Guy:

Kids have imaginations that create worlds.

Kids act silly even when times are tough.

Kids believe themselves to be indestructible.

Kids are always ready to laugh at the absurdity of life.

Kids act based on what’s important.

Kids throw themselves into each moment.

Kids will try something just because they can.

Kids will connect with people without judgement.

Kids believe in possibility.

Next week, water ski-ing…PERHAPS !

Peace,Love & everlasting adolescence…
