Growing Pains


I was on a college visit this weekend. All that ran through my mind was, "Where did all my time go?! I should be a kid!". I guess that sounds pretty stupid because in reality Im not tht old at all. I'm just comeing to that point when I'm realizing I wont have my family around me all the time anymore, people will think I'm wierd if I decide to play dress up and hide in the clothing racks at stores,I won't be playing outside in the sprinkler anytime soon, and I won't be playing with toys (or at least theones I used to anymore), and I'll start paying bills and things like that. It's one of those milestones in life that has a surreal sort of feel to it, a stage that always seemed so far away, and hits you like a frieght train when it comes. It's not that I'm not excited about independence and all that. You have no idea how happy I'll be to get out of here and move on to an exciting life. But I'll always miss being a kid. Always.
