a post inspired by two beautiful people [ here & here ] [ before you begin reading this post, please hit play on the video above :] *** Growing up. Such a thought scares me. To think, in just a few short years I'll be invited--or maybe shoved--into the scary world of adults. I'll have to decide who I am, who I want to be, what I want to do with my life, and so much more. I'll have to make hard decisions, and learn from the consequences. I remember the days when I wanted to grow up. To be responsible, and wear my big girl shoes. Now, I wish I could go back. To before, when things weren't complicated and all I had to worry about was making sure the bubbles I blew in my chocolate milk didn't overflow from the cup. Why do I have to grow up? Why can't I stay little forever? Why are things so complicated? Why, why, why? Why can't I keep my innocence? Why can't I stay young and flexible...
Authenticity is attractive.
