Inner Child

An interesting topic, which I think has been addressed in two episodes of Scrubs or something. I've just been thinking of how people grow up and start acting less and less of a kid. Despite being 21 years old I still feel like a kid. I know that I have many responsibilities and I do my best not to shirk them. I guess its watching how my kid brother acts since he is eight years younger than me, and I think wow I used to act like that? Then it kind of makes me sad because the things my kid brother partakes in makes me wish to be a kid again. I mean I am happy with how I am now its that sometimes I wish I could be so carefree and stuff.

I know I still do things that would probably be considered things kids do. Such activities include: playing video games, watching cartoons, being lazy, etc. I think the reason that I still partake in these activities because I don't want to let go of the kid inside of me. Sometimes I feel like Turk or J.D. from Scrubs and how they always act childish and I think, "I would act the same way given that circumstance."

Another reason why I feel weird doing "adult" or non-childish things is that you notice a few things. One thing is if you have a lot of free time its hard to find things to be productive. Much of my free time is either spent playing video games or watching cartoons. Although during the past summer I had a lot of time but I did not spend it playing video games or watching cartoons. It was hard for me to think of what to do. Aside from doing chores and stuff, I cleaned my room slightly. I guess when I don't participate in playing video games or watching cartoons I noticed how much time moves slowly.

Not to say that retaining the inner child in us is a bad thing. I believe that as we grow up that we have some part of the inner child still in us, it just depends on the degree that the person shows it. I guess for me I still feel like a kid, which is weird when I'm around my relatives at parties because they all are so mature, and much older than me, yet I still act a little childish around them. Anyways this post is dedicated to the inner child in all of us :D.
