Children

Kids are so easy to get along with..

Sigh. I wish I was as comfortable around some people my age as I am with kids. Idk. They're just so... straightforward? No lies, no underlying anything, and they just accept you as you are. No need to pretend to be anything.

They are so easy to please. Just show an interest in their lives, smile and you've got nice little friend.

Today, at ROAR, a Grade 5 girl, Beatrix, gave me $10 today to sponsor me for the 40 hour famine. She remembered from last week when I wasn't talking. How sweet is that? Not to mention thoughtful.

How is it that I manage to win the hearts of children so effortlessly, but it takes so much more for other people? Guess I'm not the type of person that crosses minds very often, except young minds maybe.

Innocence is priceless. Really. I miss not knowing and not 'contemplating' so much.

Wow. I just realized. I sound really old. D: I mean, technically, I am still a kid too. Okay, teenager, but still.

Thinking of things,
