When I was like 18-25 I made a very important decision in my life (maybe it was inside me already, I don't know), I decided that I will do everything in my power to keep my spirit alive, to be the person I really am, to keep my humour, joy and irony and to not let norms, rules and expectations create something out of me that I am not. This of course includes being childish and crazy in a responsible way. From time to time it has been a tuff fight; a lot of my friends in the same age is "gone in the labyrinth" long time ago. I still love them, but we just don't have anything more to share.
People often try to tell me that one day I have to take some responsibility and grow up = get married, settle down and have children and all that. I'm not saying I have anything against the family-thing, but I don't think it's the right thing to do if you don't really want it at the very moment. I can't see the responsibility-side of that. I will always take responsibility for my choices and for everything I do and have done in my life. I tell you what, it's very hard, if not impossible to find friends in the same age, who have the ability to relax, enjoy the very moment and to have stupid/crazy humour. So the natural thing is that I don't care about age anymore, I just let my gut choose what ways I take from day to day. Seems to be a great thing to do, because I met/meet a lot of wonderful people all the time. Guess if I'm thankful for that!!!!
So, all my wonderful friends here on the web, and everywhere else,,, Keep the child in you alive, let it play, let it laugh, let it cry, let it fall and keep it tight and close to your heart, give it comfort and love!
Spiritual Love

Interesting. Oh, and good for you! Be who you are not what others expect. By the way, I'd have thought, the ability to relax, enjoy the moment and have a stupid sense of humour, was more or less ageless. Guess I'm wrong. James.
