As a kid, you don't have much to lose; time, pride, reputation, image. None of that. So when you have nothing to really lose, you have so much to give. ***
Things were easier when time was on our side. I want to be able to surrender to a moment. I would love to wade in it. Savor it.
After you're all grown up and tainted, it isnt the same. Things are always different. Perspectives are always changing. Friends are no longer playmates, but actually people to learn from and teach to. But at the same time, people now know exactly what to hide and what to show. Being nice can even be taken as people pleasing, pushover, suck up, no backbone, no mind. Being mean can be taken as insecure and love deficient. When before, people were nice when they felt happy and mean when they had a bad day. Period. People get harder to understand, it takes about 2 yrs to really know someone when all it used to take was a simple, "Hey that's my toy.."
a, b, or c? When you can't decide, go with all of the above.
