resigning from adulthood
I received an email message with this wonderful article, I could not know who was the author of it though. I really loved it so much and I guess that everybody will love it as well:
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 McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant.
• I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
• I want to find back the taste of strawberries as a child, they don't seem to be the same anymore.
• I want to play with my marbles again and remember all the complicated rules you had created as a kid for playing with coins, marbles .... (and the feeling when you won new ones)
• I want to eat chocolate and ice cream and hamburgers again, without any form of bad conscience.
• I want to shout again when I am angry, cry when I am sad and laugh out loud, with my mouth full of food, not even thinking to restrain myself, because I don't care what others might think of me.
• 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 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 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.... here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statem ents. I am officially resigning from adulthood.
