Day thirty-three: Halloween

Today, Katri and I drove to Michaels to pick up supplies to make posters and tshirts for the TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT zomg. Anyway, not the point. The point is that today is Halloween. We drove through West U, and we saw lots of trick-or-treaters. There were little kids dressed up as pumpkins, cats, princesses, witches, and everything imaginable. It made me really miss being a kid, being able to put on a new identity for a night and eat as much candy as my parents would allow. Kids are so careless on Halloween. Why should they have worries? It's basically the perfect night. But there comes a point when you're too old for that kind of thing. Unfortunately, that time has come. This is the first year I haven't done anything for Halloween, haven't had a costume. I feel like childhood has completely ended now. But I have to remind myself that it hasn't. I can always be a kid at heart, right?...

I wish I'd never grown up. <3

I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope...
