Time Gets Us All

Sometimes I look back to the days when I was a child and wish I could go back. The days when my mom made me cookies and kissed my boo boos. Back when I didn't have any responsibility. As Art in Manila says, "Oh, Time gets us all." Suddenly responsibility feels like a weight and a burden and I don't think it gets any easier until you retire.
Unfortunately, responsibility becomes neccessity as you grow up. You have to do well in high school to go to a good college, you have to do well in college to get a good job and you have to get a good job to live a good life. This is what society dictates. If we don't follow the rules, we end up poor and homeless, or one of those people who lives beyond our means and end up dead broke and getting money from the government.
Time gets us all, I think we just need to enjoy the fun stuff while we can. Be kids while we still can in stead of trying to grow up so fast. After all, what's so fun about being an adult?
