11:16 am


Oh man, I miss being a kid. It seems as if when you're young, you live in the moment. The hours seem sooo long as well as the days and years. Now that I am getting older it seems time is going by so quickly. Adults seem to live in the future too much. We're all fixated on our own mortality. When you were a kid you were so worry-free, never stressed about working, never stressed about your appearance, relationships were simpler with friends, I just miss the simpleness of life, and the innocence of childhood. Sheesh, I miss being excited to come home and watch cartoons after school. What happened to the simple days of sitting right in front of your tv with your juice box, a bowl of grapes, and a good ole' re-run of rugrats to wind you down from your day at school? I miss the Friday nights where Mackenzie & I would be so excited for TGIF, our moms would meet and we'd plan a sleepover every Friday night. We thought staying up until 10 was a treat! Now we hardly see eachother unless it's after 10pm. I miss when my biggest worry was who I was going to hang out with during recess, and the biggest problems I encountered were that I forgot my 64-pack of crayons at home. The fights with friends were about not sharing your lunch.

Now it seems that slowly we're losing touch with everybody. It's still early since we're all still young, and fresh out of highschool, but we have to come to the realization that everything isn't going to be the same in 5 years. Everyone seems to forget this, they don't seem to live life in the moment, they start arguments over nothing, they don't sit back and take in the time they have with their friends & family..

Anyways, in the end being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
