On having fun..

Why does being old mean I have to be so serious and grumpy all the time?

I like to play, and tease. I like to joke and banter. Sometimes I like a right good rousing.

I don't particularly like someone on the sidelines telling everyone that they're being immature. Grow up.

To you sideliners.. I say lighten up. Be annoying. Tell a really lame joke. Pick a fight if you have to. Just get outside of that box.

See, I don't think I was made to be old and crusty all the time. I don't think I was made to conform.

I think brains were made for thinking, feet were made for dancing, and hearts were made for <3'ing.. and not just when it's practical, but whenever and possible.

Sometimes, we just fall out of practice and forget how to let go. How to be free.

I'm guilty. I am bound right now. When I should be bounding.

In love poverty, we simply live hug to hug.. and save up every ounce of affection in our deprived hearts.

You want to know what I think the poverty line is..?
It's somewhere in the vicinity of the heart.

Very little to do with your annual income.
Everything to do with Love.
Or lack thereof.

Loving is fun.
