Quotes:
"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
-Neil Gaiman

I've never been one to ever wish going back in time. In fact, I've always viewed it as a weakness in someone, a want for escape from their present, and perhaps that is all it is, but right now I'd really like to go back ten years, be eight again.
At eight I was running around completely oblivious to everyday dilemmas. I could play with sidewalk chalk, and make mudpies all the while not having to worry about the mess.
I'm in that "Ignorance Is Bliss" state...I want to go back a bit, enjoy my childhood a bit more. I feel like I'm growing up to fast haha. It's that bit of realization after your eighteenth birthday I guess. A friend of mine went through it, only for him it was at twenty. We were sitting in the back of the theatre (where our winter performance was being held) on the back of the seats, which the teacher was not happy about, and he was talking about how turning twenty was this odd turning point for him. Sure eighteen was weird but you're still a kid, you can still ask for help if you need it, but he felt like no matter what he had to be completely self-sufficient by twenty. I don't feel quite that way about eighteen, but I'm getting that voice at the back of my head "You need to grow up! Be responsible! Stop being such a baby! Don't be so selfish!".
I guess I just have to deal with the fact that I'm not eight anymore...that was ten years ago, and maybe it's not as urgent (growing up) as I seem to think it is, but I can't revert to being a child again either. I just have to keep going forward with my life, and not worry if I hit a few stumbling blocks along the way.
This week was fall break for me, and I feel like I've not done too much. I think I needed the break though. Even if I didn't hang out with anyone or make plans. I've had the sniffles for a few weeks now, and this week gave me lots of extra time for sleeping in :)
I've been posting a lot of the walls in my room lately. For those of you who don't know a few months ago I started turning my walls into one big collage with magazine clippings and other odds and ends. Now I can officially say that there is no more wall space! I mean I have a few areas with posters that I suppose I could take down, but not for a while...and I'm not even going to try covering my ceiling. Last time I put a poster up there it hit me in the face in the middle of the night...lol.

5 Notes.From.Fancy.People:
Simply the best collaged wall EVER.
LOL I used to hang posters EVERYWHERE-on the walls AND on the ceilings. I was always finding the damn thumbtacks with my FEET.
I know what you mean about being 8. I don't think it's a weakness but more so a feeling that as you grow older we all start to realize that life is hard. It's work no matter what it is you do. I'm going to be 35 next week and it's like "Where did those years go?" Scary. That damn roller coaster of life can go by too fast sometimes...
I want to travel back in time. Life gets so complicated as we age. I will be turning 20 this year and I still feel so young inside. It's hard to fathom that time has passed...
Wild Things=love
hot chocolate=delicous
your=hot stuff : )
your wall collage is probably the most epic creation i've seen.
That is an insane wall of yours.
Man, if my mother let me do that...
I have collaged my bulletin board, which took me enough time, but your whole room. Wow.
I am glad to see Robert Pattinson made it on there. ;)
I adore that Neil Gaiman quote <3 I tend to forget about it but, whenever I hear about it again, I am reminded how excellent it is.
I know the feeling. The other day, at six in the morning, I was on my way to jazz band, driving in the dark in the rain, and my sister was in the car next to me ... all of a sudden, I said, "Oh, wow ..." out loud, to no one in particular.
My sister asked me, "What?"
I said, "I'm almost a senior ..."
It's not exactly the same reality slapping me in the face ... but it was a reminder that, in a few short years, everything I once knew as normal and routine is going to change. Am I ready? I'm not sure.
Enjoy your childhood memories (: Aren't those the greatest?
I love this post so much!!
Your bedroom looks amazing, I've always wanted to do that but never got the time >.<
:D
