I'm just a kid at heart

Use things wisely, and you can avoid abuse!
Responsibility enables freedom...
Balance the routine with spontaneity.
Commitment requires flexibility.
Focus, but diversify experiences...
You are smart enough to guess where I'm going with these short phrases.

Yes, you do. This whole universe hangs by a delicate thread of balance. Tilt a little to one side and snap—the thread breaks... Balance, balance, balance.

_{A separate post can be dedicated to the balancing skills of my husband and son, who are always competing with each other using this kendama toy}

Question: What is this balance?

Answer: It's such a wide and extensive term!

It's all about the magic of even distribution, navigating tricky situations, dancing in harmony, keeping things in check, pulling off epic counteractions, and, of course, deciphering the wild world of debits and credits...

But how to know when is less too less or much too much? We can't carry the weights with us all the time to measure, to scale our emotions, our efforts, our resources, our things... Shoot, what an exerting thing to do. How to maintain this balance? No, I don't know either. I can't be smart enough to tell you. Na na. You have to figure this out for yourself. I can just tell you one little thing... Your conscience is your best guide. I don't have the slightest doubt in that. And then this nature, it is always giving you clues. Sometimes so openly and sometimes subtly. But it gives you... It is designed to give. No, no, it is more of a give and take. See, balance here too. Without balance - you are doomed.

Enough with the philosophy... A little fun time.

This poor ladybug came with the quilt that I had hung outside after washing. It was so cute. I did a little photography before releasing it back outdoors. (Rest assured, it was gently carried and set free). I hope it found its home... Anyway, as I was looking at its photos later at night, snuggled in my bed, I couldn't help but compare it with another photo in my reel. See for yourself.

What on earth? Is "lady bug" my spirit animal and that too a brown one???

That's a question for another day. Right now, I'm talking about balance. You might be thinking, 'What gibberish is this?' Hold your horses, I'm just saying there's a balance of colors in nature too. Well, that picture and the similarity in colors and shapes? Just a coincidence. But it's a cool one, you have to admit! 😉

We (@weisser-rabe and I) had a rather lengthy dialogue about another topic, and my counter argument was mostly based on "balance." Most of you may know that she prefers deep discussions but in concise texts, at least that's my perception. However, you can see her engaging in such a long and extensive dialogue and commenting under my post—a very meaningful one. Oh, that's one of the most positive and rewarding aspects of Steemit. When I saw the prompt about balance, I couldn't help but revisit that conversation. You should definitely visit it and read her comments. You will surely appreciate them.

That's all about 'balance' for today. Now, I'm going to balance this rather dry text of mine with a gif. I don't know, I just felt like videotaping this spirit animal insect of mine, then playing the video at 2x speed, converting it into a gif, and now sharing it with you. I enjoyed it... In short, it's a perfect example of balancing routine with spontaneity. Hold on, let me rephrase: Balancing "seriousness" with "goofiness".

In my defence, I'm just a kid at heart... Aka

_{P.S: No insects were harmed during the photography and videotaping.}
