I'm a child at heart. I think I always will be.
I try to enjoy the little things in life. I've been told I'm naive but that was from a cynic so I don't think it counts ;) All the people I meet in life have a way of opening my eyes a little more and making me think harder about life and the way it goes. I think I am a laid back/open minded person. I try to always see the good in others and I like to give everyone a chance (or 2 or 3...) I became rather close to a pretty cynical person and I was dumbfounded by the way he thought about certain things. People. The world. Life. Sometimes we would talk and I would be left speechless, not able to understand how he could think that way. I've found many people are like this and I must admit it upsets me. After numerous conversations I realized I was changing how he thought about certain things, letting him see a different perspective, just as he showed me his.
I think there's a limit to how carefree and child like I can be because then it does just become naivety. It is hard at times, with all the terrible things that go on daily in the world. I do not believe it is bad to open yourself to people though. Hear their story, learn where they've been, how they became the way they are (good or bad). We don't know everything, we shouldn't judge so quickly or be so fast to shut someone out. I have a thing for love (haha) and I truly believe that everyone in the world just wants to love and be loved. We want to feel like we matter, that we can make a difference. It doesn't matter how cynical you are, you still want to be loved. So I think as every one of us goes through life we have to remember that. Everyone has their own story. Everyone has a past. Everyone wants to know they matter.
Give more. Love more. Care more.
