Being a kid, as all kids do, you feel out of place or like kind of a freak. You wake up feeling like your head got put onto someone else's body that day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every day, I wake up, and the first thing I think of is my kids.
I've always felt like a kid, and I still feel like a kid, and I've never had any problem tapping into my childhood, and my kid side.
Even as a kid, I would always imagine horrible circumstances in which I would find myself in my head, and imagine how I would feel, and act it out a bit for myself, because I was a bit of a freak like that. I love doing things like that, and I get a real buzz from it afterwards.
The kids growing up is a separate strand to your life. However bad a day you've had, that's the most important thing, and you have to remember that.
When your child is looking up at you, and you are putting them to bed at night, and they are just lying there, you have to remind yourself that's what it's all about.
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.
Stuff happens when you are a kid; it scars you inside for life.
The world is so different for a child, waking in the mornings, wide-eyed and ready to take it all in.
When you have kids, you can choose to make them like you, or become like them, and if you've got something that's going to change every six days or six minutes, you can decide to be as awake and alive and learning as they are.
The best feeling in the world is when you child just comes up to you and lays their head in your lap, for no other reason but just because.
