A friend that has been staying with me these past few weeks kept telling me "you're a kid!" every time I did something fun/stupid/out of the ordinary.
I get a lot of "you're crazy/funny/original/something" whatever enhances the fact that I'm not your regular 30 year old. I actually like people calling me crazy. I mean, when I look at "serious" people's life I do want to be as crazy as can be.
But "you're a kid" was new and felt right. If it means being candide, innocent, carefree and looking at life in amazement, hell yeah I want to be a kid! Trying hard to be one actually.
Finding my way back to my true nature and my inner child is all I've been trying to do lately. It's all anyone on the path of awakening is trying to do I think. Unlearning and getting rid of tons of things, getting detached, simplifying everything.
I wish I could forget everything I know about things and people and get rid of my judgement and comparisons. I'd like to look at everything as if it's the first time I'm laying eyes on it. I want to feel instead of thinking, I want to be true and authentic instead of reacting to my conditioning (call that education if you will).
Kids know how to be free and happy before we teach them to be and act as they're told, to be like everyone else.
Picasso said it perfectly "It took me 4 years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."
Be crazy, be childish, be yourself, be happy.
