Its a world of fake make believe to me. When were kids and teenagers we think 'Oh man when I'm an adult I'll get to do whatever I want and when I want to do it.' Thats not how it works. We have to do everything thats a necessary chore before we can get to the fun stuff. Sometimes it takes weeks to get there. As an adult we don't have the option to push everything aside to have our playtime otherwise our problems grow and grow and grow until its pushing us against the glass.
Sometimes I wish I could have found that fountain of youth as a kid so I never had to grow up. I miss nap time and being allowed to drink a juice box without a funny look.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I know. It's funny, the amount of blog entries I have read this Christmas that more or less sum up the "festivities" with feelings of nostalgia...
ReplyDeleteThe trick is this; adulthood can be beautiful, too. We are tricked into thinking that childhood was something beautiful we missed because we didn't notice how we would long for it.
Adulthood it the same. You don't want to miss out on the beautiful things we can do and experience just because you're missing and dreaming of a lost childhood.

Advice that will most definitely be cherished in the new year. I should never long back in fear of longing but to remember the more beautiful moments that have yet to come.
