Just What's A Canker Sore

I was thinking the other day about the difference between knowing how to have fun, and being immature. I think far too often we can confuse the two. I really value being able to relax and have fun. I love to be really silly sometimes! Wait, I take that back. I'm never silly... no... never... Anywho, I wonder how much room we give ourselves to let loose and just have fun. How often do we let down our guard and relax? I wonder how often we think we relax, when we still have our guard up. Perhaps we are so used to being guarded that we don't know how to pull down the barriers. I want to live a life that's full of fun. How often do you do something spontaneous just for the sake of it? Immaturity seems to me to be more about being inappropriate, or doing something that negatively impacts on another, rather than just cutting loose. I think our world would be a much nicer place if we would all pull down our self-created barriers once in a while, and just have fun together.
How awesome is this?!

i rekon immaturity is alot to do with inaproprateness. and i hate that i cant take down my barrier. i have a barrier up with everyone. [yes aimless, crazyness, jill.. you guys especially]
and its only recently ive been able to pull it down. and thats only because he's proven himself to me oh-so-many times.

What a loyal reader I must be!
Lisa, I checked it out, and you're kind of right. I did do a post on silliness, but it wasn't quite the same angle as I'm coming from here. But yay for you and your super loyalty!

i'll update there periodically - 16 downloads - woot!
i totally agree - too often we miss out on stuff that is purely fun, especially if it involves putting down our sophisticated pride and maybe risk looking silly in front of others.
and in case you are wondering: bumping in go-karts = fun. bumping other cars on the freeway = just plain immature.

Sometimes there is so much beauty in the world that I can't stand it...
Hongo!
"Immaturity seems to me to be more about being inappropriate, or doing something that negatively impacts on another, rather than just cutting loose."
I wouldn't say that, it's more not bothering to differentiate the two.
Hay that's a complement!
Anyway that sight is funny...
and it is not easy to letdown those barriers...
their is a fine line that i walk all the time, mostly on the other side. people just get offended to easily.
