My Resignation

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an eight year old again.

I want to go to Mc'D 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 Smarties are better than money because I can eat them.

I want to 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 I knew were colors, multiplication tables and nursery rhymes but that didn't bother me because I didn't know what I didn't know and I didn't care.

All I knew was to be happy because I were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me 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 computers crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive when there are more days in the month that there is money in the bank, 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, mankind and making angels in the snow,

I want to play around and my days of imagination to last forever.
