To be or not to be...Silly

I believe my blog, is too serious for my own good. I'm never that serious in real life. I can see people reading this stuff and going whoa--she thinks too much. Tis true I think too much. Just for the record, I don't spend all my time thinking deeply. I need a break from that. Time to be just a kid--even though I am told I am too old to be a kid and I should grow up.
Honestly that's malarky, there are times for serious matters and time for fun, don't let people convince you that you should ever stop laughing or doing crazy things and putting a smile on your face and the face of someone close to you. Laughter is what gets us through the hard times, if you can laugh you know that it will all work out in the end. Sometimes the irony of the serious situation is laughable. (I LOVE IRONY!)
I think there needs to be a distinction between childishness and immaturity. They are so often associated and so often negative. Immaturity is the act of selfishness, having fun, being stupid in a way that is detrimental to others. You just don't think about how it might affect others. It's part of growing up and discovering who you are, but it needs to be something you grow beyond.
Childishness is often lumped in this same category, but I believe childishness is simply acting in the simplicity of a child. No worries, no fears. I mean really, think back to when you were a kid, before you had mortgages and car payments, before you had to worry about work, you could be fun and creative and it was okay. I think in our society sometimes we miss the simple things because we are too busy trying to be what we perceive an adult should be.
Responsibility is great and I think we should keep that in perspective, but who is to say that creating a memory that puts a smile on your face and reminds you to think of another human being in a positive light is a bad thing. Go be silly, do something crazy, be in awe of the creation that surrounds you like its the first time you have ever seen it, laugh, dance, go on silly picnics that never go according to plan, be flexible in that, pretend, dress-up, sing to the radio like you are a rock star, whatever, but don't forget your responsibility--I think there is a balance. I have a friend that has a similar take, check out Kev's blog .
