I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.



I want to go to McDonalds and think that its a four star restaurant.



I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples 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 run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers day.



I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didnt bother you, because you didnt know what you didnt know and you didnt care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you 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 simple again. I dont 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 loss of loved ones.



I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.



So….heres my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, youll have to catch me first, cause, Tag! Youre It!
