Sometimes it's breathtaking to sit back and reminisce on how fast time flies.
I feel like it was just yesterday that I was excited about Disney World, that I was having play dates, or that I could hardly wait for "pizza day" at school.
Now I get excited about road trips, I date, and I can hardly wait to have a fresh salad with ranch dressing.
Time flies so fast, and things change without a moments notice. Within the blink of an eye you're a year older, you've made new friends, and you've outgrown your favorite $15 Mudd jeans.
You can no longer get away with watching the Teletubbies, eating with your fingers, or having your mom dress you.
The excitement that you used to get for the little things are gone, like Valentines from every classmate, the new Hanson song, or a Snow Day.
You start only getting Valentine's from your friends, Hanson is "like soooo 1994," and Snow Day's aren't for sledding, they're for sleeping in and tackling the homework you blew off for you Season 3 of Grey's Anatomy.
But is it so wrong if you try to hold on to something that's slipping so fast away? If you still want to hand out Valentines to everyone? If you want to sled on your snowdays, and build forts and have snowball fights? If you want to belt out "MMM BOB just one last time?
Time may fly, but do we really have to grow up?

Nobody has to grow up. And I can make time fly faster or slower. I might break a lot of watches doing it, but you can too! =]
You can still do all those things even if your are "grown up". It obviously matters to you and is a part of your life. Your still a kid. Hold on to those things as long as you can. When you're older those are the things you will remeber not what happened on Grey's Anatomy.
I still go sledding on snow days, and give out barbie valentines to my whole class... And I'm a junior in highschool. I've tried really hard to figure out how not to grow up, and what I've found is that the trick is to just have fun being yourself. Belt out that "MMM BOB," because that's all growing up really is... Starting to realize what other people think of you, and being concerned about it! So build that fort, sister!

No, it's not wrong if you try to hold on to something that's slipping so fast away. I mean, I don't like change all that much either. People in my school hand out Valentines day every year. I would build forts if I pleased why should you care what others think? Belting out "MMM BOB" is kinda awkward so I wouldn't :X. lol
We all grow up in someways, some more then others.
I'll leave you with some words from Bob Dylan:
"Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'."
