Innocence

Today I went to the park, and there were two families there that met up. Each family had a two year old, one family had a girl named Dylan and one had  a boy named Jackson. Dylan's family got there earlier than Jackson's and as soon as the two saw each other they yelled each others names and started running as fast as they could towards each other. When they finally met up it was kind of awkward, and the girl looked at her feet and then started to walk away. Jackson ran up behind her and hugged her and they began to play and did so for the rest of the day.While they were playing another girl that Jackson never met before ran up...taped him on the shoulder, and as soon as he turned around she stuck her face right in front of his and popped her head out and kissed him. Jackson kissed her back and it was pretty adorable.

This got me thinking...Jackson is only two years old, and he can get some. But it also got me thinking about how amazing it is to watch little kids interact. Its because they are full of innocence. You don't see people walking up to total strangers and kissing them because they wanted to. Little kids act on how they feel and think, it's a shame that people over the age of about 12 don't do the same. Life would be so much easier if people could just say how they feel without having to worry about being turned down or worry about what other people think. I think, when it comes to emotions and feelings people need to live like they're two years old.
