What happened to "fun"??
This evening, I sent a very close friend an image that said..Let's be friends till we die...and then become Ghost friends...glide through walls and scare the shit out of people!! I thought that was hilarious ...seemed like so much fun to believe momentarily that we could. I even started making a list of people I'd like to scare and boy, I was grinning from ear to ear :)
Sadly, this friend of mine did not respond.....maybe it was not "fun" or even too "childish" to respond to :(
Which brings me to think : what happened to "fun"?
Where does it say that as you grow older, you need to stop having simple fun? Why do we stop doing things for the sheer fun of it and nothing else? We all used to, as kids, right? Then what happened? Age, maturity, responsibilities, career, life? At which point were we supposed to give up the joy of "having fun"? because unfortunately, I see that most of us have done that....
Thankfully, I have not yet completely lost my way....as yet! And there are quite a few "looney" ones still around that sing happily with me : Haan, mein crazy hoon :)
Stupid, meaningless stuff make me grin, giggle and laugh... like thinking of becoming ghost friends, like riding up an elevator going down with a little kid, like pulling someone's leg harmlessly, like giggling with my girlfriends' over girly stuff that college kids would talk about, like laughing with my daughter about her school friends' pointless dramas, like splashing in puddles, like blowing bubbles in the air and watching them float and reflect rainbow colors!
Fun is as important to me as it always has been; actually no, its more important now than ever before. From where I stand in my life and with the fast pace of life these days, there seems way too much of stress and pains waiting to come my way.....and my strong and sometimes, solitary line of defense is my sense of humor and my ability to seek joy in simple things.
As I trod along the road of life, I actively seek to spend more and more time with those people with whom I can have fun - enjoy a few laughs and let my hair down. These moments make up my life and these people mean the world to me ....
So what do you do for fun everyday? Think about it....in all of 24 hours, surely you can spend a couple of minutes to do something that brings a smile of sheer joy on your face...go ahead, give it a try. Build it into your daily routine and check with yourself at the end of the day....what did I do for fun today?
Smile ...as they say...the world looks much better that way.
