When did life get so complicated? Remember being a kid and the most intense thing you had to do everyday was clean your room and make your bed? The rest of the day was spent climbing trees, riding your bike, and playing with your friends? It's funny how things change when you get older and get those adult responsibilities.
I remember how my biggest decision in life as a kid was who I was going to play with that day, and what the hell we were going to do. Were we going to play at my house, their house, outside? Were we going to ride our bikes, play with our barbies, or watch TV? As children, we really truly had no idea what adulthood has in store for us....
Now, my daily life consists of getting 5 kids and myself ready everyday, daycare, work, back home, homework, chores, dinner, baths, etc etc etc all the while trying to balance a relationship, their daily responsibilities and everything else life throws our way everyday. Can we go back to climbing trees, please? I constantly wonder why in the world I was in such a hurry to grow up?
I would take cleaning my room, and falling off my bike and scraping my knee over broken hearts, paying bills, and dealing with adult responsibilities. Some days I just want to build a fort made out of blankets, climb underneath it and color, ignoring the rest of the world and all that includes.
Something has got to give. Life has to give a little and get a little easier because I am exhausted, beyond exhausted. Being an adult is hard stuff!! What I would give to just ride my bike, climb a tree, or play with my barbies again. Back in the days when fairy tales still existed, hearts weren't broken, and we didn't know all the ugly that was in this world. When we weren't damaged and scared, but hopeful and looked at the world as a beautiful place.
Sincerely,
Deeply Heartbroken.
