“When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up”
C.S. Lewis.

Words to live by. My kids toys will often still get played with by me. I shoot their Nerf guns, I transform their transformers.
I don’t see the need to be embarressed by these things. My wife finds them endearing and it allows me to connect more easily to my kids.
I’ve found as long as I own it when I talk about my “nerdy” hobbies, most people tend to react quite positive. I talk about the social and creative aspects. Often people will admire the passion and skill I display
But I do urpress the urge many of us have to ramble on, like we do when we are together in our enthousiasm.
I’ve also heard it said: “Creativity is the child that survived”. I like that. We don’t outgrow the child, we build upon that part of us.

I’ll now surpress the urge to ramble on filosophically, which is also a tendency I have…:D
