Last night a friend and I decided to build things out of legos. It was lots of fun. When I mentioned this to an acquaintance he said wow... its been like 15 years since I have done that. That sounds like lots of fun.
Exactly. I am starting to really wonder why people insist on being so grownup. You can't do art unless you are good at it... solution: pottery painting places. You can't do sports or dance unless you are good. You can't sing unless you are good... solution: karaoke. Put a little fun into your life.
If I were five years old and pretending I was a vampire it wouldn't seem strange to anyone. But since I am an adult its weird. Look my life is adult enough with the bills and grad school, stds and health insurance. I need some whimsy and some fun. Many of my friends are tying the knot and signing mortgages. What's wrong with balancing that with some fun.
Try it yourself. Build a spaceship out of legos so that you can smash it when you are done. Have a good time and let your hair down for a change. Its not that hard. Dust off your old toys, or turn on the radio and bounce around the room like you did when you were 8 and didn't know that you were supposed to be self-conscious. Or go play capture the flag. Eat dinner at a restaurant and pretend you are a secret agent. I don't care. But go have a good time and forget how old you are for a few minutes. You will be amazed how fun it is.
