Despite me being tired, I babysat last night. I struggled to interact with the three cute little kids, but I just wasn't feeling it. So, I proceeded to sit down in the most comfortable chair with a foot massager underneath to take a break. Bored as ever, a thought popped into my head about sociology. With observation always available to stimulate ones mind from boredom, I guess I had something to do while I lazily lounged.
They built a house out of squishy chairs, blankets, instruments, and pillows. Then, of course, it was time to paint their new house with the imaginary, blue paint held in the tambourine. They giggled and I smiled, fondly remembering how things just came to life when I was young with stories and adventures behind anything and everything. Suddenly, I began to see the house. At the same time I realized how much my child-like vision had diminished. I felt old as weird as that sounds.
It's important to keep that fire alive within you. We, as a society, need to hold onto those unadulterated perspectives as long as possible.
