"This is Childish" - New Creative Journal Helps Adults Reconnect with Inner Child
Ohio Pen/10312926

CINCINNATI - OhioPen -- The much-anticipated launch of "This Is Childish", a 50-page creative journal and emotional playground, from the visionary behind the personal brand Malik Allen, took place on Sunday, October 12, 2025. More than just a journal, this new work invites readers to rediscover the childlike curiosity, imagination, and boldness that often gets buried as life gains gravity.

Malik Allen — creator, thinker, and provocateur — has steadily built a brand around authenticity, art, and self-actualization. As detailed on his "About Me" page, he's not content to follow conventional paths; he's dedicated to cultivating a life, a brand, and a body of work that reflect his values, his voice, and his creative soul. Through writing, visual art, social media, and community engagement, Malik's mission is to inspire others to own their stories, push boundaries, and embrace the freedom of creative risk.

His brand is rooted in embracing imperfection, acknowledging vulnerability, and championing the inner voice that wants to be heard. Over time, he's amassed an audience who resonate with his insistence that life need not be "all serious all the time" to be meaningful.

"This Is Childish" is an extension, and elevation, of that ethos — an invitation for all of us to lean into play and exploration as meaningful spiritual and creative practices.

At first glance, This Is Childish may look like a simple journal—but its purpose is anything but ordinary. Across 50 thoughtfully designed pages, Malik combines prompts, exercises, visual space, and open-ended invitations to:

*Reflect on memories, dreams, and forgotten joys

*Sketch, doodle, write — however your inner self wants to speak

*Play with ideas, imagination, and wonder

*Let your mind wander, breathe, and breathe life into your own creative impulse

This isn't a children's book — it's a safe space for adults to reconnect with the wonder, spontaneity, and creative spark they once carried so naturally. Whether used as a journal, memory book, or generative tool for new ideas, "This Is Childish" aims to facilitate healing, curiosity, and self-awareness.

In a world that often demands we "grow up" and conform, "This Is Childish" whispers a different truth: that our most authentic life emerges when we let our imagination lead, not chase it away. It stands as both a gift and a rebellion — a way for creatives, thinkers, and seekers to reclaim their inner child and let it guide the next chapter of their lives.

This launch isn't just about a new product from this gifted curator — it's a step in Malik Allen's journey to offer more spaces, tools, and invitations for people to wake up to their own creativity, power, and purpose.
