A little bit of how i feel at the moment.

Subject: Resignation

To whom it may concern: I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 5 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 in a pond with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk.

I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to think a fifty pence coin is worth more than ten pound note cause it's prettier and weighs more.

I want to go fishing and care more about catching the minnows along the shore than the big bass in the lake.

I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colours, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. When I didn't know what I know now. When all I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried.

I want to think the world is fair.

I want to think 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 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 the loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, dreams, the imagination, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes the scary things go away, making angels in the snow and that my dad and Superman are the strongest people in the world.

So......here's my check book and my car-keys, my credit cards and the bills too, my bank statements, my store cards, my collections, my insurance premiums, my job, my house and the payments, my e-mail address, pager, mobile phone, computer, and watch. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this with me further, you'll have to catch me first, cause,


"Tag!"...
"You're it!"
