Never Conform To Someone Else’s Idea Of Proper Interests

When you’re young you do as you wish.
There is no care for what others think.
You play, laugh, learn and experience.
Filled with joy by all that surrounds.
Then you get older and care about being cool.
Chase something that means absolute zero.
But do it so that you can fit in.
Instead of being the odd one out loner being.
Then you become an adult searching for a place.
Pretty unsure that you will ever fill your space.
Until one day pieces slide and fit.
It is at that point you rediscover old interests.
Collecting cards, toys, books, knickknacks.
They might be pointless but who cares about that?
No one needs to as long as you do.
As this is the return of interests for you.
Don’t shy away or think they’re dorky.
Cause who gives a fuck as long as they hurt nobody?
If you like a thing then indulge it how you wish.
And if others judge then they can go fish.
For child like enjoyment should never be killed.
After all it keeps us young in this hectic world.
The alterntive is to grow old young.
Have no interests and lose all forms of fun.
What a sad state tp find yourself in.
At that point you might as well give up on everything.
