I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided
I would liketo accept
the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's
a four star restaurant.
I want to Ride My Bike
across a fresh mud puddle. . . .
. . . .and play basketball
with my little brother.
I want to think M&M's are better than
money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big tree
and run a lemonade standwith my friends
on a hot summer's day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
When all you knew was colors,
multiplication tables,
and nursery rhymes,
but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know
what you didn't know and you didn't care.
All you knew was to be happy
because you were Innocently Unaware of all the
things that should make you worried or upset.
want to think the world is fair.
That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be Unaware Of the complications of life
and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again.
I don't want my day to consist ofcomputer crashes,
mountains of paperwork,
depressing news,
thinking there is no money
in the bank,To survive
doctor bills,gossip, illness,
and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of
hugs,justice,
a kind word, truth, peace, dreams,
love,imagination,mankind,
and making angels in the snow.
So....here's my checkbook,
my wallet,my car-keys,
my credit cards and my 401K statements.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.
And if you want to discuss this further,
you'll have to catch me first, cause,
"Tag! You're it."
