why is being kind and having an optimistic out-view on life associated with naivety? Why is being an adult having to be hard and serious? A life spent being serious and having contempt for the world around you is a life lived in misery. So don’t worry about it, make a mess in the kitchen, make mistakes and laugh at yourself, let yourself think only the best of tomorrow even if today was the worst. You can be educated and aware of the world around you and still be positive. You can be intelligent but still make silly jokes and funny faces. Be the adult you would have wanted to look up to when you were a kid.
