ADULT RESIGNATION
- via Mary Kay.
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 ripples 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 simply 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."
