The Child In Me
In each and every one of us there lives a child who knows how to be happy because of certain things without others to find out....we like to say that we are mature enough, that we passed the age when a toy meant the world for us... we hide our crazy little pleasures, we are brave, we are now grownups with responsibilities who see the world with different eyes....
Actually... we are all a bunch of lost kids who sometimes stop and stare, don't know where they are heading. We all get into certain situations when we just don't know what to do although we keep on saying: "you have to get over this one" "be brave" "you are an adult now! Nothing can stand in your way!" ... empty words meant to give us strength, to handle our existence on our own....some do succeed, others don't...

It's the same thing as when a baby is learning how to walk... he is happy because he doesn't realize that, the miracle that he is facing will just get him deeper and deeper into the world we live in.
One day we wake up and we are in kindergarten, school, high school, college... then work... and that's it....we are in the middle of our lives and we forget all the magical moments, we forget how to be happy, we forget how to appreciate the little things up to one point when we get tired of all responsibilities, of decisions that we have to make, of problems and so many other things and we remember that after all we are kids and deep down inside we rediscover the joy of a silent moment, the wonders of a walk in the park and we remember that the child inside of us can never die because no matter how much we try he is there even we don't always see or feel him...The child inside us is just sleeping. The only thing we have to do is to wake him up, to rediscover what hope means because it's the only place from where we can feed our souls with so much courage..."mini us" is the only one with absolute power over us... Is the innocence and hope! We couldn't live without them... we couldn't imagine

    We Were The Mulvaneys Analysis

    As time passes and as the world shifts, people pass away and they never come back. People who are left on the world, now without the others’ presence, must live with knowing they will never get to see them again and that now all they have left is the memories of when their loved ones were still around. Judd Mulvaney has the realisation and through it, the reader is able to see how he is caring and innocent. His naivety is something not to be ashamed of, nor is it something that he should keep.

    To Kill A Mockingbird Loss Of Innocence

    As children come of age, they begin to lose their innocence. When they are young and less involved in their society,they are curious and full of imagination. “The gum looked fresh, I sniffed it and waited for a while. When I did not die I crammed it into my mouth: Wrigley’s Double-Mint”(Lee, 44). This quote shows…

    Oakwood Parable Scholarship

    Nothing reveals the true meaning of life until it is taken away. Death being the hardest, most tragic and life spiralling event, it can leave many people lost. For me it was exactly that, when I heard the tragic news of the death of my role model, my best friend, my only brother, it tore me apart. The death of my brother allowed me to put everything in perspective. Opening my eyes to the real world, to see beyond what is just happening right in front of me. With my freshman year of high school just starting with enough to deal with, this topped it all. I was lost. No time to say a simple “goodbye”.…

    UNSW CHILDHOOD ESSAY Copy

    Children’s culture has drastically transformed since the Victorian period. The idea of children’s culture is one that is under rapid change, and many industry and media components have deliberately recreated a new idea of children’s culture that both prolong the growth of children, and distorts the boundaries between the child and adult. However there has never been a clear definition of what the idea of childhood is, and that ideology has become harder to distinguish with adult like behaviour of many young children today it is become increasingly difficult to justify the boundaries between adulthood and childhood.…

    Personal Narrative: When I Wait To Grow Up

    We all can't wait to grow up when we're young. The world is filled with all this possibility and wonder. I've been told ever since I was little that the world is my oyster; in other words, the world was completely opened to me and I could be anything I put my mind to. So I just couldn't wait to grow up. Being an adult seemed awesome and I wanted to skip over the kid stage and get to my life, start living and taking care of myself. I thought I knew it all and I was ready to prove it. I had this idea, this grand picture that I had painted in my mind of life and how it should turn out. I thought I knew it all, until the day that suddenly I didn't. They tell you to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Life decided it was…

    Being Alive Timeline

    Graduating college, getting a job, getting married, buying a house and having kids. For most people these are joyous events that are celebrated with family and friends; and come with hard work. However some people have a different mindset towards life. They perform tasks for the mere sake of getting the job done and life almost seems like a check list. There is a difference between being alive and truly living. Being alive is fulfilling the responsibilities and duties that are required of you. Truly living is when you seize every moment and make the most of it. One appreciates the small pleasures in life and is satisfied with what he or she has. It is easy to go through life without realizing you are not enjoying it. We get so caught up in trying to be the best version of ourselves that we don’t stop and appreciate the small things that bring every day…

    childhood vs. adulthood

    A child’s view on life is simple; and they always seem to see the best in every situation. Theirs is a world where the good guys always win, where crime doesn’t exist and bad things don’t really happen. They see something and imagine what it is, or could be, and in a good light. Children never look for the worst in people, and always give people a fair chance.…

As the years would go by we would get more excited because our teen years were getting closer. However, when we finally reach those teenage years, we then suddenly wish we could be kids again. A teenager and a child both have their differences and similarities, but they are more different than we think; after all, they are two different ages.…

    Childhood Vs Adulthood

    For most of a child’s life they are learning the basics of life. Most of the time they are provided with what is needed to survive and they can focus on discovering how the world around them works and how do they have to tackle the series of hurdles in this complex world. The transaction from childhood to adulthood is not possible without having a vast bag of experience that one gets with time. As adults, they will be seen as capable of standing on their own feet, they will have to rely mostly on themselves, and they will be in charge of obtaining what they want and need to be contented. By now they will have realized that they are responsible for their actions and have to choose their own…

    Willa Cather

    "The earth was warm under me, and warm as I crumbled it through my fingers...I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep."…

    Definition Essay About Happiness

    But what is being happy? I am only eighteen years old currently and have been asking myself that question since I gained a mature sense of mind. The years I have lived so far act as a source of guidance for me to better understand the world and life we all have and indirectly share. Childhood is a small portion of a lifetime which essentially lasts 10 years. After entering middle school, children are expected to grow up a little bit and start feeling for their own responsibilities. During those modified stages, a person loses their imagination and things start to become serious. Life grows a new meaning, and people start to wonder how to figure it out. But that’s the thing, life is just another word for figuring it out. No one knows what today or tomorrow will bring. Everyone is so diverse yet we all indirectly coincide with each other. And that matters a great amount. People in America are beyond privileged to have the lives we live, but what some of us fail to understand is that we have people going without food and water and education and shelter all around us yet what are we to do about it? There is a clear line between being selfless and being selfish. And I believe no matter how big or strong or widely known you are, you too need help sometimes. And that’s where I would like to bring up a past instance I have lived…
