[Guest guest]

>>To Whom It May Concern:

>>

>>I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have

>decided

>>I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year old again.

>>

>>I want to go to Mc'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 watercolors 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. That 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 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 afternoon 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 simply 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 6 again.
