MY RESIGNATION

Posted by Unknown On Saturday, May 9, 2009 4 comments
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.

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 a sidewalk 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 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 didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't 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 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 statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........ ......"Tag! You're it."

Have a great weekend!

    romerz Don't give up. It is hard and sickening I know but good things only come after a hard struggle.

    Have faith that the more sickening it gets the less alone you will be!

    Unknown Dear Teik Lim,

    Thanks so much for the encouragement. Indeed, it is so difficult and most nauseating. *sigh*

    But it is people like you and the anak bangsa Malaysia that give me the inspiration to carry on.

    Indeed you are right - I believe more are standing with us now.

    Take care, God bless and have a good weekend.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Blessings to you and yours,
    Paula
