Wow, I love this!! As someone with ADHD, having fun is one of my priorities (and main motivators!). I've never understood people who keep slogging away at something when it's no fun for them. Like, either the outcome or the process has to be fun for you, or preferably both!
Very relatable. Surprisingly, one of the by-products of being around a child, which I least expected, and is now the best part of being a parent for me is being a child again through/with them. Being curious, being silly, exploring, running around with no baggage attached to it (like weight loss/health), trying out the see-saws, swings, kiddie rides with them in the park, shouting for no reason etc. "Its all worth it" imo is still very debatable but it provides for an odd balance against all of the other "responsibilities" of being a parent.
I can totally imagine. If not for children, we would all be so much more boring and everyone would have forgotten what it was like to have a child-like wonder.
The debate of weather it is worth it is a whole separate question. I don't even think that's a right filter to look at that decision because you are not doing a cost analysis at that point.
Haha I love this and fully concur! Although I have to say - it’s about time we reclaimed the word “frivolity”. To my mind, frivolity is necessary for living better. It simply means light hearted. It’s a generation of adults that started to use frivolity like it’s a pejorative. As if life needs to be super serious and grumpy to be effective. Sigh.

Yeah absolutely. Taking ourselves too seriously is the root cause of most problems 😃
