WE265 || When did we stop living like children?

Since childhood the education and values we receive shape our expectations and behaviors in adult life, especially in interpersonal relationships. What we learned at home influences both for good and for bad.

My best reference as a child...

Kind regards, Galenkp, maybe I wanted to be 18, ... as a child I remember what I thought in relation to the other children who studied with me at school, I said that they were fools, fools who knew nothing about life.... hahahaha. I thought I knew them all and I was a nerd, besides, I was the daughter of a university professor, my mom has a degree in philosophy and letters, hahahaha... And my father active military of the army of my country.

There was a time, being an 8 or 9-year-old girl, maybe I dreamed of being 18 and being a singer (I played acoustic guitar) since I was that age, and I also thought about being an air hostess to travel the world.

My parents were very open-minded if I'm being realistic. I think that after the age of fourteen I was already a big, adult, emotionally mature person, there were more children in my house after me (I am the eldest daughter) of 8 children....

What I still do, just like when I was a child, is celebrate every moment, amaze myself and enjoy those things that make me happy, worry less about "what they will say", laugh for no reason, love like a girl, laugh like a girl. You know Galenkp, I'm still looking for shapes, figures in the clouds, admiring the details of nature, jumping in puddles of water hahahah, climbing trees sitting on the floor, dreaming and imagining stories, and laughing for no reason just like my beloved grandchildren do, in the cover photo, being dreamy children, adults of tomorrow, like me.

This was the beautiful sky yesterday afternoon, from my house... what figure do you see? well, I enjoyed my little girl who lives in me, and I saw the figure of a dancing bunny, because she even has a tutu.

Pure rebellion, blinded by love.

When I got married and left the protection and the maternal home, I felt that I belonged more to myself, to my purposes and to my feelings, and I recognize that I was scared, and I understood that my "reality bath" came when I got married so young and with so much fear 😱 because I was very young; maybe it was there when I considered myself an adult from now on. Without a doubt, as the values with which my parents raised me, coincide with the adult I dreamed of being at the age of 18, I assure you Galenkp, that has allowed me to develop social skills to grow with greater harmony.

I'm currently married for 48 years and I still feel fear, especially when I think that I'm now an older adult, which I never imagined "Being" being an 8-year-old girl 😂. I didn't choose this as a child, but today I can decide as an adult what to do with it.
