View submission: What is the difference between immaturity and being a kid at heart in your eyes?
To me being a kid at heart means you can still find wonder and enjoyment out of day to day life. You can be goofy and enjoy simple pleasures. Ex: hunting for sand crabs at the beach, finding a rock in nature beautiful, laughing when you stumble, not caring how you look when you dance, wanting to ride a big rollercoaster, wanting to go to a planetarium….
Immaturity is not being able to handle the adult world- manners, holding down a job, disregard for others.
My dad was the perfect example. He was the hardest working man I’ve ever known and was the type to pour his OT money into paying off a debt quickly and then driving the same truck for 15-20 years (until it literally fell apart) but if my brother or I approached him with “dad. Can we build a mediaeval mace?” his eyes would go out in either direction and he’d whisk us away to his workshop to start building it before we could blink. He also taught me how to make a flame thrower with hairspray and would be standing next to me asking my mom to let me keep a stray dog I found.
There's nothing here!
