Children... I was a child once.
I love children. They were me once and I was them once. I can remember seeing the world through their eyes, and the feeling of connection when an adult took the time to understand who I was. To speak to me. To ask me silly little questions until I came up with a real serious answer. And they did too. They liked pink purple and blue. They want to be a doctor a princess and gain super powers like flying and super strength.
I couldn’t tell you how happy they made me, it’s as though accepting myself with all my being, I was capable of doing the same for them. They had different ways of self expression and dreams for themselves. Yet they all loved and desired one thing. To be loved. To be adored. To be shown gratitude towards. And that is what I did with them all.
I hugged all the little princesses and fixed their hairs after play time.
I hugged all the little princes and cleaned their faces off after snack time.
And they all said goodbye when it was time to go, some finding me on the way out and sneaking one last hug in. And I was there in awe, of all these little people who someday will remember that emotion of love adoration and gratitude, and know the difference when it is not present.
I wished all those princesses and princes the most bountiful journeys and I realized an important lesson when it comes to “adults” and “children”.
When you are connected to your childhood experience and remember what it was like to be one, and catering to your inner child still to this day even as an “adult”
the love that FLOWS out of you in the presence of children is unstoppable. You simply want them to enjoy themselves, new angel souls from heaven, reminding them the pleasures of being human on earth. And in that they teach you the greatest lesson of your present life. With balance, you can always find time to play, to never loose your imagination, and always grant yourself the permission to experience the full taste of life on earth. NO MATTER what that looks like. To judge yourself less. Trying new things despite all your past mistakes and bad choices.
Treat your inner child or any child in your life. Not only does both of them truly deserve and remember that feeling for life, but it is the biggest gifts on this planet. Is experiencing that joyous child light in our world, it is where we gain the fullest taste for life. Pleasures of the world. <3
