Today, one of my friends showed me the cutest article ever. It was about the definition of love - as defined by adorable little kids.
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." - Billy, age 4
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." - Bobby, age 7
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." - Noelle, age 7
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." - Lauren, age 4
When we grow up, we edit our thoughts and phrase our answers to cater to the needs of others. We say what people want to hear or what makes sense. Not the first thing that comes to mind. Not something totally bizarre, yet wonderful. And definitely not how we truly feel.
We do this because as we grow up, we become really conscious of how others view us. But I think it's important to stop living life to please others and to start voicing your own opinions. Doesn't mean you have to be insensitive or crude (you can definitely edit out the profanity from your thoughts lol), but always know that people will remember you by what you've said and done. So, do you want them to remember the real, genuine you or the generic version?
