Childhood Lessons
ByIt amazes me sometimes how the child that you were affects the adult that you become.
As child I never wanted to miss a beat.
…..And if you know me as an adult you will see that nothing has changed…..
As a child I refused to sleep. I would sit in a room completely miserable because I was so very tired but holding my eyes open in order to make sure that I don’t miss anything.
I see here now at twenty three years old considering putting toothpicks in my eyes so that I can do a few more things before the day is over. You know, like hang out on Twitter, read some blogs, eat some icecream, and listen to the city. I am so tired that my entire body is ready to shut down as I type this post out.
And I think in the past twenty years….have I learned anything?
I am still very much a four year old girl wandering around the city. Wondering if I am doing the right thing and going the right way. Feeling slightly nervous about my surroundings. Feeling much like a child in an adults body. Like I am playing house…or life.
I wish I had some brilliant insight to end this post. Some life changing message that this entire post surrounded. But you know what? My mind is shut off. Because, I am. that. tired.

Dear Cassie,
Why did you think it’s bad to feel like a child trapped in an adult’s body? There is nothing wrong with that in fact it is probably a good thing. Children are like little sponges always soaking up knowledge. It’s the adults who think that they know everything that cause all the problems. You have learned a lot more than you even realize.

I think none of us ever want to grow up, and I feel sorry for those that already did and wish they hadn’t. :)
