My Princess Name

I'm gonna write about this because I feel like it. I really love the imagination that children have. And I try really hard to never forget the silly stuff I did as a kid because it was flippin awesome. A lot of times people tell a five-year-old they can't be a dinosaur, or something like that. That really bothers me. What, besides the laws of nature, is stopping that child from being a dinosaur? And what, compared to imagination, are the laws of nature? We should all pretend to be dinosaurs sometime. I had a princess name as a child. And an imaginary prince. And my basement was a castle. I loved the Disney princesses, and I still do. They are some of my favorite people. My princess name was all the princess names together in a specific order. I would recite it to everyone I met, no matter who they were. I also love the fearlessness that children have. They can be friends with anybody and it doesn't matter what they've done or who they are. I think that's the core of love. It may be blind, but most people are led astray by their eyes anyway. Kids are awesome. My brother loves just playing by himself. Usually, he gets pretty loud and annoying, but I try my hardest to stop myself from getting angry or yelling because I don't want to hinder anyone's imagination. Ever. I think that should be illegal. I guess you could say Hitler had an imagination too, and someone should have hindered his. (yes this is an extreme example) But I don't think there was anything wrong with Hitler's head, it was the way he used his imagination that made it wrong. And I imagine he was influenced by something in his life that made him hate other people without reason. So imagination itself is never wrong or harmful. And I can't seem to find it embodied in many adults, because it's silly or a waste of time, so I look at children, and I envy them for their trust and creativity. And I try to think like a little kid. A lot.

Relatively Short

So this will be relatively short. My youthpaster and his wife decided they would read my blog if I had one. So I made one, because they are pretty awesome people, and because I thought it sounded kinda cool too. I don't have a myspace or a facebook, but I do spend a significant amount of time on my computer, so I think I've found something probably slightly more useful/productive than watching countless YouTube videos in my spare time. (even though they are funny) I guess there are better things to do with ourselves than strive for our own entertainment constantly. And I'm sure the things I choose to entertain myself are never the best options, but that's something I'm working on, just like a lot of the rest of me.
