Dedicate this children’s day to your inner child

By Shreya Ghosh

Life is a journey, and the road is very bumpy. While traveling on this uneven path, we must keep our inner child alive. Life is full of ups and downs, but remember, the darkest night comes before the arrival of the sun. Don’t let the inner child fade away during the darkest phases. Good days and bad days will come and go. Nothing stays forever, but if we lose ourselves, we will be unable to reach the destination of this beautiful journey.

Every year on November 14, we celebrate Children’s Day, but have you ever thought about that inner kid who belongs to you?

A wise man once said, “Life is too short to not embrace your inner child.”

As we get older, we often find ourselves caught in the trap between adulthood and childhood, participating in a rat race. We tend to pay too much attention to achieving success and forget to take pleasure in the little things in life. As adults, we must balance the good and the bad in making choices and take responsibility for the choices we make. In the midst of these responsibilities, we forget that life is very short, and it becomes even shorter if we extinguish that child within our hearts.

Sometimes, we should disconnect from everything, as “Zindagi Na Milenga Dobara” taught us. Life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest, embracing spontaneity. Listen to the wishes of your inner child, go out without fear, just as we did in our childhood when we were unaware of society’s rules. To keep this inner child flourishing, it is crucial to be with people who let us be ourselves and appreciate us for who we are.

Don’t work like a robot to make others happy; prioritise yourself while focusing on goals and dreams. Don’t neglect your inner child and start doing what makes you happy.

Give freedom to this inner child, and in the end, you’ll see a different world beyond imagination. So, keep your inner child alive and dedicate this Children’s Day to that playful spirit. Say yes to showering love and care on your inner child.
