About me

Listening to really wise people; getting advice but not necessarily taking it. Being open to possibilities and suggestions in life. Being independent and idealistic. Optimism. Eating, and sleeping. Running. Jeans and Chuck Taylors. The smell of candles when you first blow them out. Watching movies in the dark. Blue slushies. Playing in the rain. The way the sky looks at dusk. I'm a country girl at heart. I really, really, really dislike drama! I love fuzzy, cuddly creatures. Giving and receiving hugs. Good art and music make me happy. Appreciation of art and music make me happy too (remember just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's bad). Black and white movies. Liking things that may be considered unconventional. Kids are fun. Constellations. Driving on random back roads trying to get lost; ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. Steak and taters. Going on adventures. Simplicity. Friends. Friendliness. Anything outdoors. The color green. Crunching leaves.

I know what you mean! If you get ahold of a Delorean let me know. I wanna go back to my childhood, but know what I know now. That way everyone will get all freaked out when I drop some calculus on my 3rd grade math teacher. Plus - free poptarts and classic Nintendo.

Childhood

Jan 30, 2008

Did you ever wish that you were a kid again? I always do. When I'm surrounded by friends, I'm too caught up in the moment to think about it. But when I am alone I catch myself sitting and wistfully thinking about how easy it was to be a kid. When I was a kid I remember always being happy. Ya know? Back before you faced the harsh reality of life. "Disappointment" was merely a word you had heard in passing but didn't know the meaning of. You had no stress and no responsibilities. Life was carefree, and everyone seemed happy. Maybe it was just the whole "ignorance is bliss" thing. Whatever it was I would gratefully go back if I could borrow someone's Delorean. I miss those days now. It's funny how you don't realize how fast life goes, and you don't appreciate all the little things until you look back.



"Childhood"
Lemon Pez and Fun Dip
and playing in the snow.
Toothless grins set across messy faces.
Little fingers grasp at big ideas.
The concept of Truth
transcends lack of knowledge.
Playing at "grown up",
the gradual loss of innocence transpires a wish to go back.
Back in life and back in time,
Back when things were easy, and worries few.
Childhood dreams replaced by the excitement of an uncertain future.

(please don't make fun of my first attempt at poetry)
