I know at times I feel like I'd like to be a kid again. To have no responsibilities, to wake up every day knowing that everything I need will be there, and it isn't even a thought or concern. To have no real agenda, and to just roll through the day doing one thing after the next at my leisure. I think that's why the lottery seems so appealing.
The reality is that I do enjoy some of the responsibilities of the adult life (note that I said some). As I get older and more mature; interests and what is important to me have changed a bit. What's also imperative is that I hope I never lose the awe and wonder of life that I had as a child. The laughter, the silliness, the ability to not always take things so seriously.. To not really care so much what others think of me, not have to impress..
I think as grow into adults, we begin to be exposed to the society around us. We begin to have expectations of ourselves(and others), and slowly develop deep ingrained fears.. which mostly we don't realize, and they begin to drive us in our lives. Running on a sense of who I need to be, how I need to be, what I need to do, and what I need to be okay in this lifetime.. causing stress, and anxiety, issues... literally self-induced..
I think that sense of wanting to be a child again comes from the feeling deep down to want to be truly free.. And the coolest thing is that we can be free as adults.. If we wake up, and truly take a look at ourselves, our lives, and what's truly important..
Anyway, this post was really meant to show off a few photos of I have done of children...but as I started I had these thoughts.. ;)
For single, family, and senior portraits(done on location), executive head-shots, etc... call me or contact me. Until then, Enjoy life...

I like your realization of return to innocense blog, it only take a second to realize what it is too be a child again. Also reminds me of that enigma song.
