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.
|
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&M's
are
better than
money
because
you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big
tree
and run a lemonade
stand
with my friends
on
a
hot
summer's
day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
When all you knew was
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,
justice,
a kind word,
truth,
peace,
dreams,
love,
the imagination,
mankind,
and making angels
in the
snow.
So....here's my checkbook,
my wallet,
my car-keys,
my
credit cards
and
my 401K statements.
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."
