I feel bad that humans don't get enough play.
We take life so seriously and the things out of our control affect us so severely.
One of my healthy coping methods is play. I play games with my son or just start acting very silly. I pull pranks and make jokes. Blow bubbles or blow up a balloon and make up a silly game on the spot. I enjoy non competitive sports and arcades. I'm the person at work that people can count on for sarcasm and dark humor. I really enjoy laughing and making others laugh.
On a more adult note I have a friend I see once a week and we have adult play time. I used to feel ashamed but now I simply enjoy the pleasure for a few hours and actually nothing makes me feel better than letting loose sexually. To me it's reminiscent of play and we have a lot of fun 🤷🏼♀
These things put life in my life. They lighten my heart when I work every day and go through heavy therapy sessions that drain me of joy for facing my truth.
But there is a great deal of honesty in fun. As much as the heavy stuff, if not more if you dedicate yourself to finding/creating it.
I don't think people get enough at all. Work and societal expectations, escaping our emotions and going through the motions, generally doing things we don't want to do for whatever reason. It's no fun.
We need more fun, more sex, more freedom.
