I cannot deny the fact that i have long surpassed the age when I could act stupid and immature on a daily basis. Now all of my decisions have to be rational and fully thought through. It's kind of sad when chil-like whimsy is looked down on. A few of my friends even give me a what the hell look when I come up with stupid, but fun, things to do. However I am lucky to have other friends who share in my desire to give in to our childhood desires.
Last night for instance, three of us were sitting around going through old pictures and talking about people we used to know and things we used to do in high school. In the process we came across some pictures of last semester when we played on this tire swing that is in a church yard across from our dorm. Of course it is midnight and we should be doing the work we procrastinated all day, but instead we decided to get dressed and run across the street to play on the tire swing. We stayed out there on the swing for about 45 minutes acting stupid, taking stupid pictures, and sings songs from the across the universe soundtrack and the new kayne cd. we are just that cool. We decided to go back after three cop cars drove by and one sped down one of the side streets next to us a few minutes after a couple other cars sped down it. Our rational decision making skills came back and we decided that we didn't want to be around if anything went to, especially because we think we might have been treaspassing. Who knows?

Awwww! That's sounds like so much fun! But yeah seirously, I def know what you mean about not being able to act silly around here. I tend to be a silly person around people I know. So when I first came here, I didn't really know anyone well enough to act silly around. But I think we all get stuck in a rut about 'being mature and being an adult'. I say, sometimes you've just got to say the heck with it all! :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree. I think children often have the best outlook on life because they just want to live and have fun. They also look at the world with such trust and it's sad that this innocence is lost as we age. So it's always great to go back to that mindset and not worry about anything, just have fun. I hope you have more fun times on the tire swing!!
