They say it's both a curse and blessing to feel everything deeply. I have found this to be completely true. When you feel everything deeply, you hurt more than the average person and love more than the average person. Society views this as a weakness but I completely disagree.
When you are this person you enjoy life's simple pleasures quite easily. Things like watching the sunset/sunrise at Signal Hill can easily brighten your day. You find walks on the beach quite calming. You find beauty in the animals at the aquarium. I am this type of person. I allow myself to feel everything deeply because the alternative seems quite boring.
"I wish I was a kid because kids don't have anything to worry about". I realised that the reason that most of us stress too much is because we don't do some of the things we really love doing. We are either too old, too broke or too busy. I know a lot of people that stopped doing things they love because of these reasons. Instead of doing things we love we get stuck in ruts. I have been there and I don't want to go back, that's why I allow myself to feel everything deeply. Kids have it easy because they enjoy the most trivial things. Why can't we just do the same? The happiest people in the world are the ones that do things they love. That kid on your campus that walks around with no shoes
just because he can might seem a little weird( Okay some are weird) but he/she is doing something that he/she wants. This person really doesn't care whether you stare or not. He/she is most likely doing what feels right to them.
What I am getting at is that we worry too much about things we have absolutely no control over. Love freely and deeply without fear of getting hurt. Fear stops things before they happen. Don't worry about society's rules because most of them are ridiculous. Run your own race. Do what you love becuase this will most likely bring you joy. Break that rut and shake things up a bit.
It's never too late.
