I've been a very serious no nonsense person for as long as I can remember, so I suppose he never existed.
I'm 31 going on 13.
My inner child is pretty much alive and kicking and pops out any time something even remotely amusing comes about.
I've had my time of being "mature" now I sit and play games with my kids and we have fun, we watch cartoons .... even if I have to force them to sit down and pretend to enjoy them.
There is a time and a place for "maturity" but for the most part I prefer to have fun. It keeps my wife smiling, it keeps my kids happy and having fun and I like to enjoy life.
While my body may grow old my mentality shall never age.

When I'm happy he's right there, doing his regular goofy thing. But when I'm sad, angry, or depressed, he's not really around. I seem to be depressed most of the time these days...
I'm currently wearing a Monster High t-shirt and underwear with Disney Princesses on them. You tell me where she went.
C. S. Lewis had it right: "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
My inner child is my outer one as well. I see no need to make a distinction, I am a human being at every stage of my development and have no desire to pretend to be dignified and "grown-up".
[sub]And while a Rainbow Dash T-shirt would be awesome, I'd rather have Twilight Sparkle on mine![/sub]

Nothing ever happened to mine. He's still here, and he always travels with me no matter where I may go.
I associate my childhood with embarrassing actions and derpiness. So I guess he does pop up behind me sometimes to do a little crazy FlAIL dancing in front of a girl I'm trying to impress or whatever.
That being said, I do not associate what is generally viewed as "childish behavior" with my childhood. I consider them a part of my unaging imagination, so that has largely stuck around, in the shape of my impulsiveness, my...well childish imagination, and my willingness to re-enact that at will. Also my willingness to wear an MLP shirt, as you outlined.
That has nothing to do with being childish in my opinion, not that that's a bad thing or wahtever.

It's quite a funny story actually. I was at school, inner child chilling with me. Then some tool starts causing me stress. So...Inner child grabs a shotgun, I crack my knuckles and we deliver him a brutal beatdown. Now. Change "some tool" to "people in general". My inner child and I are still in perfect synchronisation...He's just a little evil is all

My inner child is still VERY alive and well and I hope to never lose it.

My inner child has been ground to dust by the relentless corporate grind. Now excuse me while I go write a TPS report...
