Childhood and Blogging disappearance.

First of all I wanna explain why I've not been blogging in quite some time, basically I'm an idiot. I broke my laptop, and messed up the hard-drive and I don't particular have a large amount of money, so I haven't been to fix it yet, nor have I recovered the data from the hard drive (here's hoping the story's still safe). See that was quick and simple, disappearance is down to me being a bit of a prat.

CHILDHOOD. Standard definition would probably dictate that your childhood is the age between your birth and about 13-14 where you turn into a teenager and you get all grumpy and things start changing. This is not the type of childhood I'm talking about here, I'm talking about childhood with more a mental perspective. Over the course of our life, we tend to hear "grow up" "stop living in a fantasy world, you're not a child anymore" and "stop being so childish" at least once. In a lot of cases those saying them probably have a point, and you probably are being a little childish! BUT Childhood as a mentality should never disappear. Let me explain what I mean, yeah you can't crawl on the floor, with a dummy in your mouth expecting to be carried everywhere or transported in a pram for the rest of your life but Children have a lesser understanding of the world, which is good. Lesser doesn't mean bad, it means that they're not old enough to understand everything yet, they haven't necessarily learnt some of the harsh realities of life. I'm not saying that we should ignore the truth behind aspects of life, but children have this amazing ability to see the light; the positive in everything, they laugh at everything, they have a huge imagination where they can make vast worlds out a blank page. It's incredible really and its this part of our life that we should hold onto for as long as possible, no-one said that we had to decrease our imaginative thoughts, no-one said that we had to lose the innocence of childhood. A person who loves and truly lives is much happier than the one focused solely on the realities and seriousness of life. No-one should go through their life, seeing the world in a mundane way, of only paying bills and going to work and nothing more. The happiest person will be the one that can understand reality, and can still pay bills, work, and do the necessary and compulsory things that we, as humans have to whilst also hanging on to a brighter, more child-like side. It's also a great mentality to escape to if anything bad happens to you. escape to a part of your mind where you can see the world as more than just a sphere of nature, wildlife and people because it is more than that. The world contains a huge plethora of creative minds, of beautiful people (in every sense of the word) of people that dedicate their lives to making people happy. It contains places and things that hold almost emotionally healing powers, just by being there, or around them. Even if for one day, you should try seeing the world through a childs eyes.
