Kids are going to be weird and use their imagination. They’ll pretend to be an NFL player breaking tackles as they run through a crowded school hallway. They’ll pretend to be Optimus Prime and pretend to transform into a truck. Or they’ll pretend to be iron man blasting bad guys with their lazer palms.
The issue is when your friends have aged out of that behavior and you think it’s still cool to Naruto run up to them all the time.
I remember when I was a kid I used to pretend the weirdest stuff. Once I was sitting on a picnic table behind the school and I pretended I was loved and safe.
I did stop pretending like that pretty early though because I was afraid of being seen as weird.
It’s hard to keep it lighter than a feather; sometimes it’s heavier than lead; coming round to the understanding that’s also on me. (Believe it or not, some heart chakra with string drum helped me out of that rut while i slept. I didn’t purposely find it, it just was on after the video i fell asleep to. It’s no excuse not to do grief work though. And i’m doing that too.)
At 16 you should be able to differentiate when it’s the time and place for it. Theater, role playing games, and plenty of other outlets exist for it as an adolescent and adult because it is healthy and fun to continue doing into adulthood.
Interesting how the tables turn isn’t it? Not putting thought into a comment and instantly making an assumption rather than thinking about it or even, and I know this is radical nowadays, asking somebody to expand
Pretend is where most great ideas are birthed. I’m sorry this timeline sucks so bad it sucked that out of you. But yeah, time and place, etc to quality that.
Why not? I’m fucking 40 and while I wouldn’t say all the time, I do it any time I think I can get away with it generating humour to boot. It works cuz THAT’S my excuse. Loki backs me up nearly every single time. How do you think I survived a helmet-less head injury after getting hit by a car on my bike? Even my Nuersurgeon expected nothing and 3 mo this later was exponentially MORE shocked I woke up at all let alone able to speak even if back then I couldn’t finish an entire sentance.
It’s like The Stone and the Flute by Hans Bemmann. Totally a fantasy until you realize what level truth is being given with no interest or need for facts. Such being unrelated to what is given.
And no, I am not a Changeling. I’m a CoX. Not that you’ll ever catch those references. It’s not necessary.
I’ that makes me so happy. To the devil with the excuse. I felt like it also works; but it’s good to have an excuse when the nails start coming out of pockets, unless you bliss right up over everyone who’s got the nails and hammer.
My excuse was was just a step in the path that improved my life. For as horrible as it occured, everything else got exponentially fantastically luckier than that one moment was unlucky. I could list a dozen amazing things that came together right therein after. The guy stuck around, had insurance, got me an ambulence…many many more things just lined up to improve my life right therein after.
Hanged man energy (hanging on the tree of life upside down) gives that perspective, doesn’t it? It took me kissing death on the mouth a few times before I got the perspective I really needed, though. Whatever, as long as we do the work to get there after the stepping stones appear. They’re not there to walk on themselves!
If I get the cash and a good drawing beforehand to be sure a lot of the tiny little details apart of it are done correctly beforehand I’ll have exactly that tattooed on my back. The hanged man.
Nope you should be a hardworking cog in the machine, a strait laced, early waking, labor generating machine just as the fucking capital owners require of you. Nothing like snapping you into servitude than the scorn of your peers.

Can you feel me hugging you in our hearts?
That’s cholesterol.
Heart burn too. Please make it stop.
Giggled! That too.
Me too soul family. If we pretend together enough, we’ll jump timelines. Want to?
Maybe you already have and that’s how you got into this mess.
You see me move back and forth between both…
I’ve almost found a balance!

I’m glad to play and learn together.
Maybe the ones who aged out are the issue.
At age 16, you shouldn’t be playing pretend

Exactly. Sad to see that I’m downvoted because people can’t understand that there’s a time and place to let the mind work.
It’s probably because your comment leads everyone to believe that you think that the time and place are “never” and “nowhere”

That’s an interesting way to say that your comment was worded very poorly.
Maybe put that thought into your own comments before you post them.

There’s an obvious difference between thinking and Naruto running down a hall wearing a ninja headband and doing handsigns for a jutsu.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about
Ascension.
Word !
If you’ve just recovered from the head injury you probably shouldn’t strain yourself too much
I just finish my sixth year.

Lighter than a feather feels great!

Forget the money and watch it flow. Put your mind on creative endeavors, because you sound like an artist.
Boss Daddy af! Would love to see a photo, if you’re game.
Tell that to the kids trying to be sports athletes.

And yet here you are.
