I'm reading Peter Pan right now(yes it was a book before it became a Disney movie) and sometimes I wish life can be like that. Fairies coming and being able to give you the ability to fly, finding the one guy who you truly like or perhaps love and you get your first kiss, even the thought of staying a kid forever. Never having to grow old. Sometimes I do wish I can never grow old. I want to stay a kid forever. It seems to be the thought of growing up, I think it's a good experience but it's scary. Just knowing that what you did when you were 5, experiencing school for the first time, playing with toys, never have to worry about anything, will be gone when you grow up because then you'll have responsibilities.
No matter what can we do, we can't stay young forever. We don't have fairies to take us to Neverland or the thought of being a vampire. I would love to stay a kid but I also want to experience grown up things.
But I'm writing about this just because it's been on my mind for a long time. It just seems so exciting yet scary to become grown up. In a matter of 15 weeks, I'll be 17 and getting my driver's license. I never thought about driving when I was little. Well I wanted one of those Barbie jeeps but they mainly drive themselves. And after that, I'll be applying for colleges and getting ready for prom. It's going to seem so much pressure against all of us. But one quote comes to mind when I think about all of this:
"Dark and difficult times lie ahead and soon we'll have to choose between what is right and what is easy."
