The Boy

Inner Child
In some schools of popular psychology and analytical psychology, the inner child is an individual's childlike aspect. It includes what a person learned as a child before puberty. The inner child is often conceived as a semi-independent subpersonality subordinate to the waking conscious mind. The term has therapeutic applications in counseling and health settings.

I'd like to believe that the inner child is what innocence we have left after we became a part of society.
'The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life.
And the body is born young and grows old. That is life's tragedy.'
