tsumikI posted a comment in journal which can be originally seen here.I think there is something of note in what I said I'd like to add into my journal.
Fight the good fight
"It's hard. I know For me my parents are moving to Orlando now while that really shouldn't be any different as I've sort of been on my own for a while now. But them moving just sort of illicited this feeling of growing up and missing being a kid with my parents watching over me and making sure things were going to be ok. Now while I know I'll be ok it's just that sentimental nogistalia of missing being a child which I think you are describing.
But I will say most of my life I've not let go of a few things. Someone said on here that once you mature there's no going back. I think that's true to an extent. There's still a lot of things I do which people might look at me strangely for but in a way is the sense/feelings I never let go growing up. One of which was stuffed animals. (Yes a grown man with stuffed animals?) Most of them are penguins, Japanese/Korean characters, or ones that just happen to hold meaning. But my room is a very strange mix of brushed steel, frosted plate glass, hi-tech gear, soft fuzzy wide eyed stuff animals, glass paperweights(which I feel is the grown up version of collecting rocks and shells as I have a grand fascination with glass), and action figures and toys.
I think that's the big thing with it. Is fascination, imagination and laughter. If you never let go of those things you never really let go of being a child. I create art from things I imagine all the time. I find fascination in anything that interests me and don't even stop for a second to wonder if society would disapprove. and laugh? haha I scare some people how silly I get. Pretending to be various animals, walking around like the ministry of silly walks from monty python, and making jim carry level facial expressions makes ALOT of people laugh including myself.
That an also knowing your not along in that pursuit... well that's heart warming ;) *hugs*
