Adulting is hard, I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t still feel like a child in some way.

Allowing ourselves to play, to be without reason, to be frivolous, to dance, dress up, to sing out of tune, to pretend, to inhabit a character, to create spaces for ourselves where the rules of engagement are different, permissive, free, spontaneous…

This is how we manage the burden of the adult. Play spaces are essential for our mental health but also for our enjoyment of life itself. Play, if you can let it, will ignite your passions and fire your engines for the work of the adult world.

And if you can practise play, you might find it creeping into your everyday life, work, relationships – making everything that much more doable, or perhaps even enjoyable!
