The playful dragonfly

Life isn\'t always fun, they said.

But what they didn\'t say is why.

Everyone associates getting older with getting more serious instead.

But I want to be someone who keeps being as playful as a dragonfly.

 

I can understand the why.

Because growing up gives you more responsibility.

But I think that it is better to be afraid to die.

Than being afraid to live and saying no to any possibility.

 

A boring life doesn\'t suit me.

But always striving also isn\'t fun.

I would rather use boredom to create carefree.

And let it inspire me to live more like the sun.

 

Because the sun isn\'t afraid to stagnate.

It knows that whatever will be, will be.

Knowing its own timing helps the sun create.

A life with times of action and times of wait.

 

With trust in my own process of knowing when to strife and when not to strife.

I am not afraid of getting older.

I like that I am responsible for my own life.

Which makes it possible to live a fun life despite getting older.
