Adulthood is overrated, I wanna be a kid again

I feel like coming into adulthood was something I'd always wanted. You always want to be grown up when you're a kid. You want to drive and then you just want to be away from home. Now I know what my mother was talking about when she said that life goes by so fast. I still feel like I'm a kid, especially when I go home to see my parents. But I'm not a kid anymore, at least not by societies standards.

I want to go back to the simpler times. I remember when we lived on our farm, I would sit outside on the front porch and I would write. I would write down anything and everything I was thinking. Stories, poems, journal entries. And then I would look around and say that it wasn't going to get any better than this. I miss those times. I crave simplicity.

I no longer want to call myself an adult. I want to go back in time. I want to be back on that front porch with my sunset and my notebook and just breathe it all in one more time. I don't think that I will ever feel that kind of peace again. I think that it has come and gone. If I do experience it again, it won't be for a very long time. And when I do experience it again, I'll remember that porch and my sunset and I'll remember that this is what life should be like. I just want to go back. I want the simple life.
