journal entry #2

What are we, if not little kids in an adult's body! I mean I ask myself this a lot of times every day, without hesitation and I guess my inner child is so expressive and full of joy, it finds situations to grow on me and in me for the better.  My inner child is a part of me I suppress quite often and efficiently, not because I’m scared but because I’m vulnerable however people closest to me, who make me feel nurtured and safe, who kindle my childish self are the ones who face a dose of it in literally everything.  For instance, I was offered a very big opportunity at my workplace little to know the impact of it on my work profile.
