Random, sad babble
there are lots of things people tell you when you're a kid, most that you disregard.
"listen to your mother" "one day you're going to grow up and wish you could be a kid again"
you don't agree with it at that moment,
but one day when you finally are older, you realize they were right after all.
and you wish you would have listened to what they said.
but that's the part about being a kid...
you can't wait to grow up.
and adults are always wrong!
people told me a lot of things when i was kid,
but no one ever told me how different it would feel when i was older.
how life wouldn't be magical anymore,
how everything would become so bland and routine.
nobody ever told me that innocence is the best feeling in the world,
and how you don't realize that until it's gone.
and then it's too late, and you can be sure that you will never have that feeling again.
i know why they told me not to grow up too fast,
but unfortunately, i just wanted to be independent so bad.
and now that it's getting to be too late, god how i wish i would have listened.
why didn't i savor being a kid just for a little longer?
you think when you are an adult you will have so much freedom,
but god i would trade freedom for the feeling of innocence on any given day
i'm still young to many people, but truthfully i have an old soul.
i grew up WAY TOO fast. i'm broken in.
i saw things a kid shouldn't see, and i did things even an adult shouldn't do.
i'm not a virgin to anything.
i would give anything to be able to feel butterflies again.
i'm not a sad person, but life isn't new at all to me.
it never will be.
realizing you're too old to be a free spirit is seriously the most depressing day.
no one wants to go skinny dipping with a 40 year old in the ocean.
you experiment with drugs in your 30s, and you're pathetic.
you're an adult & you sleep in, and it just gives you less time to complete your list of shit to do.
you want to go on a spontaneous adventure and you're just...weird.
i see a car full of teenagers all dancing & singing, flying down the freeway...
and i see it as about the most beautiful thing ever.
they don't even know though, how much they are going to miss that moment.
they are probably anticipating moving away & getting a job.
a JOB.
the first of so many more,
waking up early. staying there late. enduring snotty customers. an endless grueling cycle for the rest of their life.
but they just can't fucking wait.
