My Official resignation

[Pauline]

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 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."

I want to be a child again
Anonymous Author (May 2007)


As I have gotten older I find that fear and hesitation prevent me from reaching a lot of my goals, so my decision is to try and look at the world through a child's eyes. For a few precious moments I want to tell people I love them and hear

the same. I want something simple rather than what we create in our crazy, unhappy and cruel, mostly confusing adult worlds. All Children are inventive. They are born with no preconceived notions of doing things. They believe there are no limits to what they can do or how they can do it. They view each day with awe and amazement… They put everything they learn into practice…

I remember as a child that even though I had no responsibilities and freedom all I wanted to do was become an adult and now that I am adult I would like nothing more then to relive those years as a child…I don’t want to have to work out life’s problems, to try to make a week of money pay a year of bills I don’t want to worry about food and dinner, and the demands of my life. I want to say what’s on my mind and have people think its cute and not offensive, or confusing. I want to lie on the grass and make pictures out of the clouds, I want the hardest thing of my week to be learning my spelling list, I want someone else to clean up after me, buy my clothes, make my bed. I want life to be simple again

I want to return to the day when I believed that justice would be served if you did the wrong thing, the days when everyone seemed nice and good, I want to see the sun come up and be excited that it’s a new day… I want to once again believe that those I love live forever and that a kiss can make my pain go away.
