My Resignation Letter

ADULT RESIGNATION
I hereby officially tender my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 7 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them. I want to play kickball during recess and paint with water colors in art. I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers' day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. When all you knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that should make you worried and upset.
I want to think that the world is fair and everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. Somewhere in my youth...I matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death. I learned of a world where men left their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only to end up living on the streets... begging for their next meal. I learned of a world where children knew how to kill...and did!!
What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever, because we didn't grasp the concept of death? When we thought the worst thing in the world was if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last for kickball?
I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again. I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean. When television was used to report the news or for family entertainment and not to promote sex, violence and deceit.
I remember being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike. I didn't worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the money to fix my car.
I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up, not worry about what I'll do if this doesn't work out. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.
I want to be 7 again.

wow! i really like this! brings back certain memories like how i used to think death must be a myth. hehe!
when my grandmother first talked about old age and death to me,
i said to her, "ah ma!!! you wait for me to grow until your age first, then we die together ok? then you won't be scared!"
she laughed and said that by the time i grew to her age, she would already not be in this world. then i kept insisting that there is no problem!! that time will stop just for the both of us. just because i said so.
wahaha.
being a kid was really great! everyone just play and laugh all day. i think it was time really well spent!

If there is such a thing as 'resign' as adult, I want also.....
love to live in a place where there is no sorrows, only happiness, care and concern by my side......

Face the reality and stand up lah...going to the past...you think you are at holloywood "Back to the future"
There always a place for you in this world...go and find it. If problem lies on you, then change yourself...
-
Sry, you can't. Your parents signed a life-long agreement with the world for u liao~ Breach of contract punishable by death...
Welcome to the real world, it only nice because your parents/environment made it so.... & because life's not simple for every 7 years old...

this really sounds like the author really sucks in living...

Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love.
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
It is as perenial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years,
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth.- Les Crane, Desiderata
