Posted: 10/14/2009 4:49:11 PM | I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8-year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.
All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again.
I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip,illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So...here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit cards and all my responsibility.
I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, 'cause,
"Tag! You're it." | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 8:22:35 PM | | I have seen this before but it does not lessen its impact. This is profound. I doubt if there are too many adults that would not like to be a kid again. However,the trick is not to long for yesterday but figuring out how to make today better. If you have to quit something,quit it. If you have to dump somebody,dump them. If you have to stop saying yes and start saying no or vice versa then do it. If you have to disappoint someone,disappoint them. If you have to say you are sorry,say it. If you have to get more sleep,find a way to get more sleep. If you have to eat better,find a way to do it. Whatever you have to do to make yourself happy,then do it. Money is not worth everything. It is not even worth your happiness. God bless. | |

I think it would be nice if just for a day we can be a kid like that,I agree with alot that you have said,I look at each day as anew day and what can I do to make it better for myself,my children,my students.Live each day as though it might be your last,enjoy what you have,and be grateful for what you have,life is to short not to be happy. | |

And so true that as adults weighed down by the harsh realities of life sometimes we forget that the simple things in life - the free things such as a smile from a stranger or a rainbow in the sky - are the best. We make life far more complicated than it needs to be sometimes as adults - part of the culture and the chaos called life. Others influence our state of mind and our emotional equilibrium; where this thread is concerned it's left a positive footprint on my mind. | |
