Meadowland III

After the last  more heavy weight entry I thought I'd write something a bit different today.

To me, as much as we talk about the active, doing things, like the places we travel to, the things we undertake there are times when you need something that's more reflective, enabling you to think through the stock of experiences you'd had.
They may not be just those of the last few days or weeks even but from way back in time because those past events have helped shape us and do influence to a point how we see both ourselves and the things that are currently happening in our lives.
So time spent away from the immediate hear and now, albeit online activity or face to face in favour of time in a secluded pleasant place well away where we are able to let our mental guard down and just think at length free from interruptions is beneficial.
Standing, watching local meadowland is one thing I find that helps and it sums it up in that at first glance it doesn't look that busy but when you really get to focus in, you see a lot of small connected things happening.
I think learning to discern things, identifying patterns is very desirable in itself.

Are there advantages of being ALG?


After our last Teen Beat special, I wish to return to an interesting topic  around those of us  who are Adult Little Girls and in particular those who take part in forum discussions and the like.
I haven’t really addressed this before but one thing that struck me about our groups especially at GT, is what an array of talents we happen to have in our midst, from artists, seamstresses, writers of fiction, people who in are Engineering, the Sciences and so on.
One does wonder about how much society actually gains from people like us who use childlike, non-linear thinking as well as problem solving to come up with solutions over our more regular colleagues and friends.
It wasn’t me but someone known well to this blog who remarked that thinking about the hundreds of people they’ve worked with and groups and forums they themselves have interacted with finds this group (at GT) having an unusually high percentage of   greater intelligence, wit, imagination, creativity compared with others.
Put like that, personally having been in a number of forums including TG ones and worked with a number of people in different fields, that’s how it comes over to me too.
I do wonder if  being inclined to think outside of adult boundaries and the social need self-censoring ones thoughts,  because we are childlike so never stopped doing so, you remain more open to possibilities exploring them?
Maybe this might answer the question “Do we have a role to play in society?”
