taking care of my dear friend's teenage kids for many days, after many years of not having children to take care of, lends me great perspective.
the innocence of raw emotion and reaction that i have been weening myself of as an adult , comes roaring back to life in a reminder of what passion looks like in it's purist form.
As a mature adult for a couple of years now, I have trained myself to think before i act, to analyze before i buy,brush my teeth before bed, and to control my impulses ~ knowing the domino effects and rationalizations, calms one down in the heat of a moment and levels the mood ~
I see my parent friends bend back and forth between rational thought and outbursts of frustration
I now, completely understand the exhaustion that goes along with the mood swings and the half truths of a growing human ~
but I must say that
the teens remind me of blind feeling and exuberance ~
and i take on my life with an invigorated sense of play ~
