Resignation from Adulthood.

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all I knew was colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didnt bother me because I didnt know what I didnt know and I didnt care. All I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair.

I want to think that everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again.

I dont want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paper work, depressing news, how to survive more days than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, 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, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So......heres my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills 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!"
