Why do adults often feel disconnected from their inner child?
I was a really bad father. I was a really, really bad father. I wasn't there for my kid when I needed to be. And, you know, my kid was young. And I regret it. Wait a minute, Zerky Show has a kid confirmed? No. I'm talking about the kid that we all have. It's the one that we kind of ignore because we're adults now, even though we're like 18, 19, 20, 21.
And when you talk to anyone that's older, they're always like, you're a little baby. Oh, you're, you're 27. You're a baby, bro. What are you talking about? I'm a baby. What do you, I remember when roly roly roly with a dab of ranch came out. I'm not a baby anymore. Okay. Relax. I remember when Clifford the Big Red Dog was on PBS. Relax. Know yourself, fam. It's our inner child.
Our inner child really dictates a lot of our happiness. We don't even know it, but it's true. There are so many components of your childhood that influence a lot of your adulthood. A lot of your Habits that are good come from childhood. A lot of the things you enjoy and you're interested in come from childhood.
A lot of the things that you long after that were deprived in your childhood is what you want in your adulthood. And there is a disconnect between a lot of our inner childs and a lot of our adult bodies. There is. There is this kind of understanding that adult life is not one of fun. It is one of suffering. It is one of emotional turmoil. It is one of...
destruction it is it is slowly decaying you as a human being and it's like who who did this who made that kind of assumption because honestly I think your job as an adult is to build your playground It's to build your playground. It's to build the things that you know you would still enjoy as a kid and build it into your adult life, which is not easy. It doesn't look the same.
It's not playing with toys. Maybe if you like Legos, you're a Lego collector and you build those huge Star Wars ships out of Legos. That's sick. I'm not even going to cap. That's dope. Maybe it's that. Or maybe it's something as simple as like you grew up playing a certain sport and you love that sport so much.
And now that you're an adult, you feel like, oh, I can't I can't indulge in the same way. I can't enjoy this sport in the same way. Why add it to your playground? Like, why would you why would you deprive yourself of that? I have work. OK, I have work to play soccer. Find people to play soccer with. reclaim it.
Like a lot of us, maybe we have interests and hobbies that were kind of like, you know, laughed out of us. Go back to them. You're no longer, you know, some of you are not in high school anymore. Some of you are in college. Some of you are in, you know, a completely different phase of your life. Why would you just run away from things that make you very happy?
Maybe as a kid you had a certain place that you would go to every year with your family. It was a tradition. And it was really, really beautiful because you felt a connection to your family there. And now you've gotten older. Maybe family members have passed away. Maybe family has changed for you and that meaning is very different for you. Why would you not try to keep that tradition alive?
