Live Like A Child
You need to be a child to truly enjoy life. As you grow older, you gradually lose the joy that came so easily in childhood. Perhaps that's because a child doesn't care what adults think. Their only focus is to savour the moment at hand. They want your attention, and they have no qualms about demanding it. As we grow up, we become too proud to ask for anyone's attention.
That's probably why they say ignorance is bliss. The less you know, the lighter your mind. The one who cares about everything is content with nothing and remains miserable throughout. Everything hurts. Half the time it's nostalgia, and the other half it's regret for never having taken the leap.
People say they no longer enjoy the festivities. That's because they aren't truly taking part. They want to, but their adult self finds it all futile. They are embarrassed to enjoy themselves too much. What would other adults think of them, revelling like a child? Wasn't that the whole point of life? Wasn't that why you earned all that money, so you could buy yourself things and enjoy them?
It's better to be embarrassed by enjoying too much than to regret never enjoying anything at all. Don't hesitate to spend a little on the things you love. It's alright to be childish sometimes. Children are beautiful. There's nothing wrong with finding joy the way they do.
