After a long spell of cyber silence, i am back (to stay, i hope) in action with The Hedonistic Perspective. After a three year hiatus of neglect and abandonment of my blog, i am thinking that its simply about time.
Reading my past entries have brought back strings of sentimentality. So much has changed since then, yet so many things remain the same, such as my hedonistically inclined perspective and my attraction towards mishegoss and laughter.
A friend wrote me a note saying - 'Growing old is inevitable, Growing up is optional'. I do not deny the fact that as we grow older, life presents us with more challenges, more choices but also more experiences to navigate through those choices. Responsibility and appropriateness call for us to act with our heads, and not with our hearts.
But i find the real challenge in growing up is in not forgetting our inner child, a personification of who we once were, when life was simpler. It is that very child who will teach you all over again how to live and how to love - pure, innocent and without hesitation.
Grow up, grow old but don't forget your inner child, the one that is full of hope, anticipation and curiousity.
