this i believe...corrupt world.

Back in the good old days things were the best. And yes I'm dead serious, THE BEST! Some of my greatest memories were from my childhood. Not giving a care in the world except to who was going to be "it" in tag. Back then when no one cared how you did your hair and everyone was your friend. Those were the glory days. Now a days, things are a lot different. A lot more real. I wish i could go back to the days when all i had to worry about was how high the next branch was. I'm not implying that i do not want to grow up, but I'm too scared to face the real world on my own knowing what I'm leaving behind. The world now a days is a cruel bitter place, and if you cant make it now with all the petty high school so called drama, what makes you think your going to make it out there? Reality can make a person scared of what comes next. I do not think life is bad, nor do i think my life sucks, but come on. Take a step back and look, remember back to when everything in life was easy. Why is that? Well because now a days, people care too much about creating a life of what they think they want, then actually living the one they already have. It may not be the greatest, but who's job is it to say that? Everything these days is so harsh and judgemental, i don't blame people for being scared to actually face reality on their own. I have had that stable support system, a shield i guess you can call it, pretty much all my life so far. Now that its time to let go, all i can remember is the days when all i had to care about was how Barbie and Ken were going to fit in the hot pink sports car. Now, people always say are you sure that's what you want to do, or is that the best idea. Everything depends on your better judgement. Back then, everything happened on first thought. those days were the greatest. what happened to real living? Its like it got lost through the ages and now its no where to be found. This next step in life our generation is about to take is one of the hardest to take, COLLEGE. Yes, that's it. This is what makes or breaks a young adult, and shapes their being as a person. Over 3o% of college students leave after one year or college and 50% never graduate. That's a very big percentage. Times are harder as you get older, but there is always that one thing that gets you through it. For me, its thinking back to my Glory Days. I would love to go back to the days when everything was unbelievably perfect, when life was easy, and all you worried about was when the sun would set. the only thing boys could give you was cooties and all they played was football. the most pain full thing was falling, and the only race issues was who could run the fastest. Back then, life was simple and care free, and all we wanted to grow up...now all we can say is, "I wanna grow down".
