In growing up, I am told to abandon my inner child, have her locked up inside a cramped little cage within myself. Because being an adult apparently means leaving behind the simple joys of everyday life, the drive to become successful overpowers the need for personal fulfillment. Q for D replaces the simple smile and the dog eat dog life of the adult replaces the breeze-easy world we lived in as children.

I find it a sad thing, how so many people in the corporate world keep that child tied up and refusing it to enjoy life. It'd be nice to shed our business suits for just one day and go swinging or lay at the top of a grassy hill and look at the animals and objects in the sky formed by simple clouds. How much happier would the world would be if we could all just get in touch with that child for even just a few monents out of every day?

But the dangerous world we live in now is an unacccepting world, and as long as little girls put away their dolls when they're told they're too young for them, and little boys are told they need to serve their country, we'll still have that empty feeling inside of us that should easily be filled by the little things in life that we no longer seem to be able to enjoy anyway...

my inner child will never be caged, ever, and I will fight it until my death, for should I lose that child, I would prefer death.
