Subject: [MOL] tendering my resignation as an adult
Tendering my resignation as an adult
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have
decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 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 play kickball during recess and paint with
watercolors in art. I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a
lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers day. I want to return
to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors,
addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because
you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. When all you
knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that should
make you worried and upset. I want to think that the world is fair. That
everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is
possible. Somewhere in my
youth I matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons,
war, prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies,
unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death. I learned of a
world where men left their families to go and fight for our country, and
returned only to end up living on the streets...begging for their next
meal. I learned of a world where children knew how to kill...and did!!
What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live
forever, because we didn't grasp the concept of death? When we thought
the worst thing in the world was if someone took the jump rope from you
or picked you last for kickball? I want to be oblivious to the
complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again. I
want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean.
When television was used to report the news or for Family
entertainment and not to promote sex, violence and deceit. I remember being
naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk on the
beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest
seashell I could find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and
riding my bike. I didn't worry about time, bills or where I was going
to find the money to fix my car. I used to wonder what I was going to
do or be when I grew up, not worry about what I'll do if this doesn't work
out. 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. I want to be 6
again.
