Axolotl-My Spirit guide

This little guy is what I put up as my new pic...they are Extremely cute but also fascinating because they essentially never 'grow up'; they physically remain in the larval Stage however continue to live and breed as an Adult.
They kinda give me hope, as throughout my life I've consistently encountered problems dealing with my Emotions/Self Image/Identity and either feel too Childish or too Old and never much in-between.
They also have an innate ability to regenerate without Scarring. So this creature is another one of Natures Metaphors, that teaches me how to survive, without dragging all my broken shit along with me.
I love the way they seem to have a permanent smile on their face. Its like their just happy to be themselves.
 
Wow! I honestly thought that was an enlarged image of one of those things people put on pencil erasers!

I dig the symbolism you find in them. Makes a lot of sense
 
In my opinion the only difference between being an adolescent and an adult is the knowledge that every single of one's actions has consequences, and taking responsibility for those consequences. By that definition, there are some 15 year old adult, and some 65 year old adolescents.

One's internal age shouldn't have anything to do with one's biological age, and ideally should be fluid. In some situations, it's entirely appropriate to act like a 5 year old, and at other times it is vital to be a mature, level-headed adult. The key is figuring out which is which, which in turn is a skill like any other.

People obsessed with 'acting like an adult' generally are boring, and try to hide their boring nature behind a facade of pseudo-maturity. When really, they're fully aware that they're boring, but need to shore up their ego-- highly immature behaviour.

@ Dave: True that, but I suspect alot of people are actually repressing their 'natural innocence'; that results from years of it being bruised and invalidated and they then Rebel and Overcompensate by acting with Pseudo maturity/what they perceive to be Maturity. Do I smell Irony in your comment?;)
