Stolen with no shame whatsover from the Daily Mail
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an eight year old.
I want to be able to go to McDonald's and think it's a four star restaurant.(1) I want to believe that M&Ms are better than money simply because you can eat them. I want to lie under a huge oak tree and play Doctors and Nurses with my friends (2)on a hot summers day
I want to return to a time when life was simple and all I knew were colours, multiplication tables and nursery rhymes, and it didn't bother me because I didn't know what I didn't know and I didn't care(3). All I knew was to be happy because I was bliisfully unaware of all the things that should make me worry or be upset.
I want to think that the world is fair and everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexites of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simply. I don't want my days to consist of computer crashes, countless paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams imagination and making angels in the snow.
So I'm handing over my cheque book, car keys, credit card bills and mobile phone. I'm officially resigning from adulthood. And if you wish to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, because TAG! YOU'RE IT!
Yours sincerely Me
(1) actually I don't, McDonald's is so disgusting I'd rather eat the box they come in.
(2) not with friends like I've got you don't...
(3) still don't
