When I can look life in the eyes,
grown calm and very coldly wise,
life will have given me the truth,
and taken in exchange - my youth.
Sara Teasdale
I've not wanted to admit it lately....and I really wasn't thinking about it this morning until I came across this quote. But growing up can take away your youth (at least physically). I still feel young, I still look ridiculously young, but sometimes I just don't feel it.
It's crazy thinking that in just a few short months, everything about the way I live will change. I will be renting an apartment, I will be out in the real world with a real job, and my mind will still think that I'm younger than what I truly am.
mmm...and to think about this quote: how much of the truth of life do I want to be given to me. Sometimes I enjoy the sheer innocence of not knowing exactly what there is to know out there. Did I make any sense just now? You try to make sense of what I said. There is so much to know, so little time, and a child mindset that I enjoy having at times.
I like that I can reason for myself, that no one has to tell me what to think or say or do, but there was something to be said about the childlike innocence where the simple pleasures of life were enough.
I don't know if this entry will make sense at all...I've just been rambling...but it felt good to get it out of my head.
