Whenever I come home, I turn into a 3-year-old. My parents have questioned my age since I have turned 20. They have asked me many times; How old are you?….Well I act like a 30-year-old in public but a 3-year-old with family and close friends. You lot who have seen that side, you know what I am talking about. I have a crazy childish side that comes out. (Don’t ever leave me in a room with a webcam….I will do the chicken dance!)

I remember those days when we were little hoping to grow up fast into an adult. When we do become adults at 18, we wish to go back to our childhood days. We never took it seriously when the older kids told us to cherish our childhood. Now here I am wishing to have my carefree days back. So many of us let our inner child die the minute we go into the real world. As older we get, we start acting too seriously and forget to smile wider and laugh often. Don’t mix up the inner child with immaturity.

I wish to be young as possible for the rest of my life no matter how old I get and no matter how hard life gets. Cause life just gets harder and tougher onwards guys. Usually when I am with friends in college, I mostly act like a child unless I am in a serious mode (I’m only serious when I am sleep deprived or tense about something or I am walking alone). I will be the one laughing too loudly or acting weird. I don’t take things seriously because every problem has a solution.

I know when to be serious and when not to be. I have spent enough days being sad, depressed, crying, angry, and every negative emotion possible for the longest of time. There is just something about giggling and fooling around like a child that makes you feel good. Those of you who get to know and know me will figure out that I have the best sense of humor. I will literally laugh at all kinds of jokes, even the worst kind.

Don’t let your inner child die ever. Take things lightly and live in the moment. Don’t be reckless but enjoy and laugh more. You only get to live the day once in your life unless you’re a robot. We have spent enough days already being sad and negative. Know to turn things around. I know I sound like a motivational speaker but seriously. Laugh at those funny memes, texts, songs, movies, whatever that is funny. Spend times with people who make you laugh and bring out your inner child.

Your inner child is the best thing about you. Believe me. There is nothing more fun than dancing funny to childhood songs like “Hakuna Matata” and watching intensely Disney movies.  You will have enough times in your life where you will have to be a grown up but too little times to be a child again.

Your inner child is what makes you human. There is no need to be a robot at all times.
