Childlike

I can see how childish I can be but I only can see what I can see.

A friend wrote something like that about themselves. And I have taken it as it sang to be gentle - the child clearly wants something and needs to be heard.

a quote by C.S. Lewis:
"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence....When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
