Glee Cast - No Air.
This morning, I got an e-mail from an old friend regarding a school project that he had to do. He's required to interview as many people as he can regarding a certain topic, to analyze said interview and finally, required to script it then perform it word for word, as how the person interviewed answered.
He asked me, along with many others the following:
What is the ONE thing(person/event etc...) that You miss from your childhood OR Being a kid.
Needless to say, it was intriguing.
He said to be as honest. To be as open as one could with the question. And I replied him as such:
One thing I miss from my childhood was the simplicity of it all.
You know when the only things you had to think about was whether or not your Barbie doll's hair was brushed or if you would be able to steal a cookie from the cookie jar before dinner without getting caught? You don't think about the repercussions of anything at all because there were never any major decisions that you had to make. Things were the way they were. No veils. No... facades to maintain.
And then you grow up. You grow up and... and you're being forced to make decisions that may or may not change the entire course of your life.
You go to school and you learn. You learn about things that interest you, you learn about things that bore you to tears. Academic things that you may never use again in your life. And then... You learn life lessons along the way. Like how to deal with a death of a loved one. How to... deal with a friend who you no longer speak to but miss to death. You learn how to deal with people who put you down and how to stand up for yourself. You learn how it feels to fall in love and to be loved back in return. You find out how it feels to have your heart broken, whether it be by external forces or because of your own hand. And you learn how to form a barrier around yourself so you don't get hurt. You become a cynic. Even the most positive individual... will have their own moments of defeat, grief and negativity.... You no longer perceive the world as that bright, sunshine-filled place you once loved. It's so much more darker. Grim. And it's just... scary.
Things were so simple back then. You didn't have to deal with the complexities of life as you do now.
Because all you had to do, all you knew how to do... was live in the moment.I only wonder if people feel the same way that I do...
