Trust

When I was a little girl. I had the worst case of Peter Pan Syndrome. I DID NOT want to grow up. In retrospect I was wiser and more grown up than any other 5 year old around. I knew then that life doesn't get easier. It gets more and more complicated and simple emotions like "love" become monumentally complex things.

Its funny how when we are young our perspective is so different from when we are adults. Its almost more honest and sincere because history or experience hasn't had a chance to muck it up yet. In fact J.M Barrie said it the absolute best: "I'm not young enough to know everything." When a child believes, they believe with every fiber of their being. When they love, they love with their whole heart and when the laugh, they don't care what other people think. As an adult we question what we believe. We love with fear and doubt and when we laugh its usually guarded.

Its as if we had it right from the beginning and somehow along the way we loose it. I want to live in a world where everyone has faith, love and laughter of children. Take a moment to enjoy the peace of your youth. 

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." - J.M. Barrie
