As The Days Go By

I like that quote. It's great.

But, unfortunately, it is true.

Growing older is mandatory.

The class of 2010's senior play, tonight, brought about this entry.

Some of my closest friends are graduating this year!

It's crazy.

So, I thought about some stuff tonight.

We all get older. Every second.

Life goes on.

The days of our lives go by oh so quickly, and it's amazing how no matter how much we may try, we never fully fufill our hopes and dreams.

As the days go by, I wish that I was back in time, starting kindergarten.

Or learning to ride a bike.

Things that you do once in your life, and never get back.

The kind of things that you wish you could do again and again.

We typically fear getting older, and I know I do.

I am scared of facing the real world. It's a cold place, especially when you're out there all alone, on your own.

So, I don't know why it is we can't go back and relive our childhoods, but if we could. I'd relive mine constantly, and never grow older.

But then I have to think.

If I never grew older, I would have never done all the things that I have done, or met all the people that I have met.

It's amazing how something that seems so good can be so deceptive and bad.

I guess in closing I'll ask this:

If you had the option of reliving your childhood for the rest of forever, or growing older, which would you choose? Why?
