“We need places to scream and run wild as well as places to be quiet.” ― Marty Rubin
I ONCE DATED A GUY WHO TOLD ME IT WASN’T REALISTIC FOR US to think we could allow ourselves to dream or go on playing forever; eventually we have to become grownups and put that foolishness behind us.
I told him I did not agree.
It’s funny though because I was drawn to his serious and purposeful quietness and he was drawn to my joyful spontaneity.
I learned a lot about backing up my dreams with action from him
and I think he learned how to occasionally let go and have fun from me.
Sure, we have to work
we have to pay bills
we have to be committed and responsible to, and for, our loved ones.
But I do not think we have to give up dreaming and playing!
What do you think?
Check out the fun these grownups created for themselves below
