we all encountered the concept of inner child, getting in touch with it and all...

But to be honest... I don't feel i have one. My early childhood was nice and all, but i don't *yearn* for it. I don't want it back. I am happy to have power over my life in the least... I did experience loses and failures, went through the "I'm gonna show you all" phase... not sure if I showed them *yet*, because I honestly don't care anymore.

Not saying I don't have any desires. But I know I cannot have most of them, at least not now. Some are out of other realm altogether. I am never gonna have some of my dreams (although chances of becoming dissident/revolutioniare are slightly higher lately).

What does inner child mean anyways? I don't feel unloved or desire to be pampered and universally loved. I can give myself more or less what i need... but that does not have anything to do with what I did not get as a child... that part of my life is over, no looking back. And what if that inner child is an annoying brat? Shall we pamper our irrational desires? Doesn't that hold us back in a way if we give in to this concept?
