I'm Resigning

I’m resigning; I’m hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult! I have decided I would like to become a kid again. I want to eat at McDonald’s and think it’s a five-star restaurant. I want to think that candy is better than money because you can eat it. I want to eat a whole box of doughnuts without feeling guilty afterwards. I want to return to when my primary focus was on learning my colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes (Ms. Mary Mac..Mac.Mac…all dressed in black..black..black) I want to be able to take mid-afternoon naps, have 6 hour days, and summer breaks.  I want to return to the time when I actually still had a very vivid imagination and huge dreams. Can I please go back to when I believed in magic and before I realized that wrestling was fake (that really broke my heart). I want to think the world is fair, and believe that everyone is honest and good.  Or better yet can I go back to when a member of the opposite sex was just some annoying disturbance that I thought had the cooties (circle..circle..dot..dot..know I have my cootie shot). How about returning to the era when friends were real and you didn't care if they were black, white, Catholic, Asian, African, Muslim, fat, skinny, pink, green or from a whole other planet, it just didn't matter... until others told you differently! I want it to be unknown to me the complexities of life and to be completely ecstatic by the little things again like the sound of the ice cream truck or Saturday morning cartoons ! I DON'T want to know of work, bills, heartbreak, and gossip! I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams and human kind. I want to believe that all adults must know everything (How wrong I was). So here's my money, my keys, my makeup, and my adulthood…you can have it all back.  If you are looking for me, I am back in 1983 (pre-Tasha just joking she grew on my over the years)..When life was so easy and good; and I still had all the most important people still in my life.
