not_oreoNot much of either, I'm afraid.
One does not follow people who act children, not really, not when one's life is on the line, and no matter which role I fill, have filled since adolescence - goddess or team leader or queen - I've needed to be able to have people follow me without reserve, without hesitation.
Of course, everybody has moments of both. While I wouldn't refer to some of my moments of... temper as tantrums (and woe to any who try), and have have handled them with appropriate maturity, if you squint hard enough you could probably call them childish, on rare occasions. ... or not. But they are always used accomplish at least some objective, always, rather than be wasted effort and energy and time. So... not very childish at all.
Childlike... well, there are good reasons for me not to be much of that, either.
And yet, there are moments, when sunlight warms new blossoms or when the warm rain first starts pattering on the leaves in the jungle... then I raise my head into it and breathe deeply and just purely enjoy, renewed and cleansed and - fresh.
Like a child.
