Current Mood: Contemplative

Aug 19, 2004 21:27

I was walking out of work the other day and it was so freaking beautiful outside. I was like, wow, I really need to just go out and savor the day. I wanted to go to the swings (this playground at an elementary school) and swing all day, just soaking in the rays and relaxing. Then, though, I was like, no, I need to go to the bank, then work out, then buy books, then blah blah blah, and it suddenly hit me...When did I become so OLD? I know I'm not old by any means. I still have a lot of living and learning ahead of me. Truthfully, however, I really miss those days when I could just throw down learning about ABC's and go outside and play. I don't really think I was ever like that. I probably sat all day stressing about homework in second grade, but it's just the principle. When did I get so high strung, so task-listed, so worried, so grown up?

I realized after this little revelation that all the things on my list were really easy and carefree in comparison to paying bills and working an actual job, so I felt a little better, but it still just leaves me thinking....Was life easier when it was like this?



Shout out to Kitty, the best cat ever. I miss him so much.
