Nostalgia

Life.

What happened to life being easy?

When did financial worries go from not having enough money to get into the movies... to not having enough money to be able to pay your rent?

When did the "thing that you just couldn't get out of your head" go from BOYS to BILLS... (and still boys, but in a lot less dreamier manner.)

Remember when you thought "When will things start happening for me?" ...When now you wish things would just STOP happening to you?

When did the problem go from having "alllllll the time in the day" to having "absolutely no time in the day."



As you grow up, you do get a great deal of benefits you are not alloted as a child... freedom, independence, credit cards... But there sure are a lot of things to miss.  I miss the ease of life as a child. I miss worrying about my science test, when I now worry about things I never knew existed before I was 18.  All I wanted to do was grow up, ... and here I am. 

...Wishing I could go back to the days when life was easy.

When I didn't understand heart break.
When I didn't know death.
When I didn't comprehend the word "hate".
When I didn't hear or read of worldly news.
When I didn't worry.
