Nurturing my inner child….

As heart-warming as it is to see children at play, as they scream, shout and run around in gay abandon, it is just as wonderful to see adults bring out their inner child, which is what we did, at a recent girls night get together.
 

Girlish giggles amidst a carefree, relaxed atmosphere, good food, good music, but most of all amazing company, made it a fun filled night.
 

We are all so different, in so many ways, some bold, some shy, some noisy, others quiet, but after a while, the barriers of self-consciousness break free and the inner child within all of us, takes centre stage.
 

It is only amongst this circle that most of us feel comfortable, to share secrets, unleash fantasies and in the bargain get to know a little more about each other, without worrying about being judged.
 

There is this sense of sisterhood, of sharing a pact, of belonging and a silent understanding, that binds us, which allows us behave in a fashion, others would not be able to comprehend.
 

While everyone undoubtedly has their share of emotional baggage, all that takes a backseat, as we focus on being in the 'now' and enjoying our time together.
 

I love knowing that I am part of a beautiful group of people; I am not  referring to personal appearances, because that is a given, but to that inner beauty that shines through their personalities.
 

Whatever their personal circumstances, they are a force to reckon with; their silence should not be mistaken for weakness, they have an inner strength, born out of patience, courage and an ambition to succeed even in the face of adversity.
 

What makes them unique is their love for life  with all its ups and downs and that is what makes them extra special.
 

However, as they say, all good things must come to an end, so after several hours of letting our hair down literally, it was time to bid farewell to that naughty, carefree fun loving child within all of us and get back to the role of wives and mothers.
 

So to my amazing girls, until we all meet again...take some time out often, to nurture your inner child in whichever way you can. Don't suffocate her within the cloak of responsibilities, don't lose sight of her desires, because all she wants to do sometimes, is simply play...let her!
