up and UP

"I remember the days when boys had cooties, "stupid" was a bad word, and drama was "SHE STOLE MY CRAYON!"

Growing up seemed like such a thing to hurry up and get through as a kid. Some boy stealing your hair scrunchy in school seemed like such a big deal! I remember I couldn't wait to be an adult, I couldn't wait to be out of school. Every adult I came across told me to not rush past it all. They told me that when I was an adult I would wish to be a kid again. Of course at the time, I didn't believe a single word. I don't always feel like an adult, sometimes I feel like a lost little kid. But they were right, things were so much simpler when we were kids. We didn't have all the responsibilities and the stresses. What we had was so minor in comparison to what we have to go through now.
