forever stumbling, forever wondering, forever young


















i find myself thinking about how quickly the time passes, so much you would think i was in my mid 50s and going through menopause. but in my life i've found for myself that its definately true that in just a simple blink of an eye- everything can change. the seasons pass, people come and go from your life, and ultimately you can't stay in one place forever. its just the workings of life. we are born and we will keep learning until the day we die. and its weird to think about how i've changed in just the past few years. yes physically but also emotionally and mentally. experiences mold you, people influence you, and time ultimately goes by and freezes for no one. but i find myself wondering when do we finally finish growing up? i'm not convinced we ever do.
these are just a few of the countless whirling thoughts that are constantly going through my mind. i guess maybe im just scared of getting older because i'm simply not good at it. it'd be nice to have the option to be like peter pan and never grow up- frankly, i think he had the right idea. because as i sit here eating my fundip i can't help but think- some of us are just better at being young.

my feelings can be summed up almost entirely by the words of the amazing show greys anatomy :)

"There comes a point in your life, when you’re officially an adult. Suddenly, you’re old enough to vote, drink and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly, people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown-up. We get taller, we get older. But do we ever really grow up? In some ways we grow up; we have families... we get married, divorced... but for the most part we still have the same problems that we did when we were fifteen. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling... forever wondering, forever... young."


PEACE.
