a genuinely curious “why?”
because as great as it is to feel free not to understand some aspects of the world and life, there’s a lot of joy to be had in genuine faith.
there’s just as much joy to be had in genuine acceptance of one’s limitations, but then there’s the added burden of forgiving yourself, instead of some benevolent being shouldering your mistakes.
Anna reminded me with a post of hers today that it’s good to be young.
it is! don’t adults spend their whole lives chasing after this life stage again? it’s a time to explore things and yourself without restrictions, except those you put on yourself (this is, of course, excluding the discussion of privilege and class and race and sexual orientation, but this is not the place for those; I just wanted to acknowledge them).
also, though, you don’t have to be an irresponsible childish adult. I interact with plenty of those on a daily basis and I can tell you, the world doesn’t need any more of them.
childlike is allowed.
childlike is encouraged.
playful, yes. self-possessed, yes! very much so! know what you want and how you feel, and set out to pursue your personal happinesses. even if those are things as “adult” as marriage, or the dreaded “career.”
don’t trample on others in order to get there. think about the kindest little children you know and how they actually enjoy sharing and the exchange of creative ideas that facilitates. be like that. share things. share your feelings and your talents and your heart (keep it open, even though that’s terrifying – and trust me, I don’t say this without experience in getting my heart stomped on). be open to change in your beliefs and your practices. be open – but not exclusively devoted to – the opinions of your friends and family.
be young! it’s good! it is. be childlike.
be in the moment.

THOMAS DO I REALLY HAVE TO WRITE PONY PORN
“way to interrupt her recap flow”
“why are you friends with people like that”
she means people who need tech support
someone is having eager sex in the living room
“I hate moms who work for churches!!!”
“I think that’s why writers write. because sometimes writing about things is better than doing them.”
pause
in unison, with finger pointing: “…sometimes.”
now discussing what to do when a cat watches your terrible deeds
our stomachs are currently talking to each other
then I started making them say actual words
