Today let’s talk about the kid inside us all.
Have you ever felt like a little kid in an adult world?
When I was in my mid 30s I began to realize that in many ways I was still functioning as a child, a carryover from growing up in an alcoholic household. Remember the movie Big, with Tom Hanks? I was in an adult body, but in many ways I was still 13 year old Josh Baskin, sitting in a dumpy motel room in New York City, scared to death. So I would be at a church retreat, surrounded by 60 or 70 single adults, but inside I remember feeling like the scared little kid, and wanting to go hide in the woods somewhere. It was an awful feeling, but I had to admit that to myself before I could begin to do anything about it.
Have you ever experienced anything like this?
