RESIGNATION
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 go to McDonald's and think that
it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud
puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms 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 summer's day.
I want to return to a time when life was
simple; When all you knew were 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 blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I 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 oblivious to the complexities
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 of computer
crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month
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, the imagination, mankind, and making
angels in the snow.
So... here's my check book 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!
