I Was Thinking About This Recently
Completely off topic,but growing up sucks. There's no easy way to put it. When you grow older, you can't get away with acting stupid all the time, which I would love to do. Saying nonesense words with my 3 yr old brother is fun. Laughing with him when anyone says the words "belly" or "chicken" is fun because he thinks it's funny. But my 8 yr old sister doesn't like it when I easily swing my brother around and she wants the same. I tell her she can't do everything he can because she's older and bigger and she hates it. I'm sure this is a topic my dad would tell me, "you won't understand until you're my age." But I am starting to feel it a little more.
I need to get a job soon. I've filled out around five or six applications, but they aren't working out it seems. That reminds me that I also need a car, since I just got my license, which reminds me that I need to think about my future, which brings me to my opinion of growing up. I remember I couldn't wait to get out of school when I was little, but I wouldn't mind going back to be honest.
You can't say growing up doesn't have it's perks though. You have way more money, plus a steady income when you get a job. More freedom, too. I'm not sure why this was on my mind, but it was, and this blog isn't anything formal. It's for random junk that's on my mind, regardless if anyone wants to read it. Or random junk in general.
Here is an excerpt from the poem Childhood by David Bates. I thought you would enjoy this part in response to your post:
ReplyDeleteTender twigs are bent and folded --
Art to nature beauty lends;
Childhood easily is moulded;
Manhood breaks, but seldom bends.
