Age. Do you remember a time when you were 3 feet tall, loved learning from cartoons, and adored your parents? A time when we didn't have to worry about our future, popularity, and getting old? I just looked at one of my pictures the other day when i was only 4 years old. i was so small then. I had huge freaking head also. Thankfully I grew into it. It amazes me how we grow into what we are today from that little thing we once were. Its sad that I'm never going to be like that again. that reminds me of the saying, "Every second that goes by is one that you will never get back again."
What makes me more sad is how much Ive changed. I remember when I used to love spending time around the house with my parents as a kid. Now I prefer to be out with my friends instead. Being a teenager in our lives is a big change. Now our parents are sadly attempting to grab on to the last piece of control they have on us before we move out or head to college. Its unfortunate that that phase occurs the same time when we are trying to get away. It bums me out think about how much Ive changed. I like to think of it as a magnetic. Think of childhood as a negative Side and being an adult as a positive side, the two attract. Now we are slowly becoming adults and changed from a negative charge to a positive charge. If you know anything about science, two of the same charge don't attract. If you put a positive charge close to the other positive charge they just wont come together. Its not entirely like that but you get the idea. I still try to not be like that but sometimes I just cant help it. its just a sad attribute to growing up. I sometimes repel my parents but I'm never mean to them about it. I still respect them as I did when I was a kid. Which is what everyone should do.
"Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional"
