i miss the days where we looked forward to growing up, but had no real understanding of just what that was. the days where we'd hike up a mountain and see the view and be entirely incapable of taking anything in that moment for granted.
evan called me yesterday and told me if we lived closer to each other, we'd never grow up, and that was how he wanted it. days back in our senior year of high school where i only needed to make enough money to pay my car insurance and put gas in my car. i had an escape. and i had a way to get there.
unfortunately, when you're faced with the violent realization that you've been an adult and 'all grown up' for a long time, it's hard to go back. like trying to pedal backwards on a bike that breaks when you go in reverse.
i'd like to be 16 again.
