#WeatherReport: And in all those cruel, difficult moments I encountered, I always wished I would be a little kid again. Not because everything was easier when you were a child; not because you werent responsible for anything including yourself; not even because life was much more simple, but simply because you had all the rights to scream, to shout, to cry your heart out whenever you felt like it without having anyone blaming you for not being strong: You can wail the moment you feel that you miss or need anyone. You can scream when youre afraid. You can cry when youre left alone. You have all the rights to weep when its your first day at school and youre alone and terrified from this sudden change that took place in your life. If youre a kid, you wont have to fake a smile when your insides are burning just to seem strong and fine! Back then, you had all these rights — until they started telling you that youre a grown-up now and you shouldnt be crying; that you should be strong and responsible; that you might be dying from inside but still you must manage to smile. I just dont mind losing that grown-up title if thats all I have to lose in order to regain my childhood life and my childhood rights again. I just wish it were possible. Because having to act as a grown up is very painful sometimes. —submitted anonymously to berlin-artparasites #ThrowbackThursday Painting by Guillermo Lorca García
