Because I still see the world through the same eyes.........
Too
because i will give nothing to ages past and everything to now
Youth talk is not my talk.
I did age.
I appreciate my age.
My age tells me where i am today, how i am and what i am.
And now for some adult child transitional analysis.
I still have my child within. My child never matured. Only me. I still baby talk with my mate though its no goo goo ba ba scene. Its the question why, its the game yes no, its still my instinctual responses be they to sulk, to cry, to try harder, its still my resistance to a tone of voice, its still my determination to be heard and seen, its still a call for revolution, its still a general distrust of adults.
The child is often dormant within my waking state. But sometimes he's there, loud, raucous, cheery, fearful, dedicated to meeting the fates and what they have in store.
I like my child. My child is a good thing. My child is a growing thing. My child has beliefs my adult left behind, he still has morals, ethics. My child reminds me of what i lost. My adult reminds me of what i gained. My adult speaks well of the child. More so than the child speaks of my adult.
I love my inner child he's someone to look up to. My that big baby is there to be admired. He's tenacious. He won't let go.
I hate my inner child. His idealism defies my pragmatism. His torment tortures my calm. I don't want to depend on his responses when i could be and should be so much more practical and reasonable. I hate my inner child for the time he takes, the focus that he gains, the way we all search for him, to protect him. Why can't my adult be so respected.
My adult knows babies though. When my child is distressed my adult can rock him, sing a lullaby, give an explanation to the mysteries.
My adult should hold the child softly, cherish him, let him grow. My child would say that he is better than the teacher, should always be so, because not only can he do what the teacher requires, he has the nous to do even better.
The dance is give and take, the dance is to be and not to be, the dance between the states is. Dance.
I am still young, although the mirror may not indicate as such, because I still have a lot to learn and a thirst to learn as much as I can. I am still in the first part of life, death is the second part of a whole other life.
Because the world still makes me wonder with wide eyes and a caught breathe.
It's something very similar to what anonymous has said:
g) Cause although I’m feeling suicidal every morning when waking up, I am still innocent enough to wonder, be moved, be amazed or enjoy by the most ordinary and simple things that the day could bring me.
B and C.
~~Jorge~~, I want to tell you that for people with complex minds and feelings like we have it is normal to feel suicidal. We see more than they see. We feel more than they feel. Our eyes are wider open. We were made this way for a purpose. Try not to be afraid, although it is terrifying. You are not alone.~~
I am still young because I will throw fits if I am angry. I pout. I do strange things to piss my husband off when he is on my nerves.
I am still young because I can fly in my mind. I can still imagine what it could be like if things were ideal.
I am still young because I don't make sense, nor do my emotions.
I am still young because I have a lot to learn.
I am still young because I am afraid.
I am still young because I want to be young. I refuse to allow it to happen. I will stay vital and alive until I can't anymore. I will stay young and die young, no matter what age.
To say we are young or old is to surrender to time .......... having experienced timelessness,age is a figment of the imagination.
a.
but then again im only 15.
I don't feel like I ever grew up...sure I know a few more things and understand more, but I am still a babe in the woods and super surprised by life every day. I also want to nurture the 'child within', as the formative years are so special in being cared for (or not), in play and creativity...children are without masks sometimes and I think thats a valuable state of being.
I don't want to forget who that person was, who was born and then made into what I think is me. I don;t know who I am! I was born, and am still living! I am a product of it all.
All those supposedly mature people, when you're young, and then you find yourself at 40 years old going; 'hey I'm the age they were, and I thought they knew what they were doing, and I feel like I am just improvising the whole business. It's like a big damn joke!'
because age is jsut a number that stands for shit all
its just humans trying to catergorise and make lines and put things in boxes
which cant be put in boxes. nothing can. its not that clear cut.
Hi Jorge and Lavinialuna
This is how i understand suicidal feelings for disabled people.
I have this theoretical understanding so try to bear with me whilst i work through it.
Disabled people are those people who are discriminated against by society on the basis of their impairments.
Discrimination leads to disempowerment.
Disempowerment has extreme consequences for us such as feeling suicidal, self harm, anger, isolation, etc.
If you can take the discrimination away it does not take away our impairments just the barriers that keep us excluded. When we are included and participating equally we are more likely to feel empowerment. Empowerment changes the way we see our lives, the way we react to the world.
In terms of this acorn maybe an adult in a child like state is in a state of disempowerment. They need to be empowered to be adult.
I don't know.
But thanks for sharing your thoughts. I may put something up on my weblog about this.
My ego is, and that is because I can still be amazed and in awe by/of anything and am asking questions constantly.
But my soul/essence is ageless and that is what I am trying to connect too as much as I can.
In reply to Detrich:
I agree with you. I feel that I have always been misunderstood. After some time you become what they want you to be but it crushes slowly and surely inside, like a corsette- I can't breath. If they could find me useful the way I am, allow me to be myself, give what I have to give, I do believe I would be healed, a whole person, vital. Thanks for the post.
To Yoko: That is why I love you and John so much. You were never scared to just be you, to say it like it is, how you felt without being afraid of judgment. Or maybe you were afraid but were just really courageous. Even if his songs were hypocrytical, it is because he was okay with embracing the moment, changing moods, changing philosophies from minute to minute if that was how he felt, changing songs. There is one song I listen to every morning when I get up. It is a song that I can't find on any of the albums but it is John on the piano and I think it is a play on the song Real Love called "real life." It is like therepy to me, reminding me to "let it go". I think I have said it before, but I will tell you again that I can only imagine what an amazing person you must be because you helped him figuratively cut his way out of his coccoon. Such a beautiful love story. I have to admit that I havn't heard much of your music, but I plan to remedy that.
Oh, the questions I would ask you...
g) you still have a sense of wonder
G
I have stayed young because of my child-like faith and hope.
PS.. I just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean that I think John was a hypocrite, I just meant that his songs would "sway", one saying there is no God, the next saying "God Bless our Love" or "Before you go to sleep say a little prayer". I feel that I too sway. I have belief in God but have moments of doubt, or moments of weak faith and I believe that most people do but are afraid to admit it. I am impressed at his ability to express himself, and I look up to that. I hope I didn't offend you or any fans.
You are still young because:
you grow wise
A dis-ability is not been able to do, society has made many a barrier that make people feel not included but rather than to fight against these misconceptions we have to free ourselves from other peoples ignorance. We have to liberate ourselves and we all have our own dis-abilities, from here we can help others by emancipating ourselves from mental slavery (Bob).
We are in the process of healing.
LOVE & LIGHT
