found this quote and thought it was soo cuteee -- ; )

sometimes I lose track of who i am. I forget that I'm all grown up now. I'm not the little girl with pretty curls that used to hold daddy's hand when she crossed the street. I no longer beg to have a box of animal crackers at the grocery store or ride in the shopping cart. I don't dream of going to the zoo or cuddle with a big pile of stuffed animals when I'm sad. I don't color outside the lines or make elephants hot pink. I don't play outside anymore, coloring with side walk chalk or practice jumping rope. I don't eat peanut butter and jelly every single day for lunch. I don't watch saturday morning cartoons or have a bedtime of 8 o'clock. I don't play in the leaves or the snow or take afternoon naps. And when I think about it, it's sad. I miss being that little girl + in a weird way I'm still her. I still have the pretty brown curls and big brown eyes and I still love the color pink, but I miss being carefree. I miss watching the same Disney movie two or three times in a row. I miss thinking that when i grew up I'd find a prince charming and he'd take me to his castle and we'd live happily ever after. I miss coloring outside the lines and not having to be perfect. I miss getting excited over a new box of crayons and a fresh coloring book. I miss being so brutally honest and no one would care. When we were little we all dreamt of being older and growing up and it's sad that sometimes we wish we were 4 and 5 years old again, where a pretty pink bandaid could fix anything and you never knew of a broken heart. Treasure every moment that you have because you can't go back. Enjoy days with your friends + warm summer nights where the stars shine so bright. I might be grown up + not as naive but I'll never stop being that cute little pint sized girl that was never afraid to dream.
