Don’t let this look of being an “adult” sway you from your true core.
Yes of course, handle your business, but work to remain as close to your inner child as possible.
That’s some of the most pure versions of yourself that you can learn from and find value in by not discarding.
i’ve noticed that many creative people aren’t “special” in the way people think. they simply approach ideas with curiosity and playfulness, the same way a child explores the world.
