Saw this line from a credit card commercial...

"Also, pin one's heart on one's sleeve. Openly show one's feelings, especially amorous ones.

For example, You can't help but see how he feels about her; he wears his heart on his sleeve. This expression alludes to the former custom of tying a woman's favor to her lover's sleeve, thereby announcing their attachment.

Shakespeare had it in Othello (1:1): "But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at." "


Ah such a nice feeling...how poetic...

Do you wear you heart on your sleeve?

Makes life more bearable...

It is not the first time...and it will not be the last time someone said that I am childish.

I do not intend to deny this as I am well aware that I actually am.

In fact, I am proud of it.

As an artist, childishness is a gift.

If growing up means losing the ability to express your happiness or sadness freely and being true to yourself...I rather be childish.

The strong front that many put up just to prove that they have grown up simply makes life more miserable...

In another words, a quote from ZJ,

"(Childishness)....makes life more bearable..."

Indeed.
