Remembering Life is LARPing

Today one I saw a post that reminded me of a mantram which bears more repetition:

This simple truth removes for me the pretensions from pretending. Michelle, a friend and fellow artist from Nebraska, reminded me by choosing to dress in a way that expressed herself. She called it over the top, but with a touch of fashion from the Indian subcontinent it just brought forth more of her inner beauty. I wish more people would do more pretending on purpose. Try something new today just to see if it fits. Relax a constraint you've placed on your life and maybe you'll realize you didn't really need it after all.

How 'bout' I'm a puppy that can fly. Kids have so much of an advantage over ourselves because they allow themselves to pretend they're whatever they want. Adults often have a narrative about themselves that they try to adhere to. They don't do these things. They always do others. This or that adjective defines them. Words can box us in if we let them, restricting us from a world of possible experiences.
