I mourn for the times when I thought that growing older would mean growing wiser. When I thought that growing up would mean I would understand. But here I am, considered an adult in everyone’s eyes except my own. Yet I can never mourn for my childhood, because I am still the child I used to be. And that is alright with me.

I mourn for the times when I thought that growing older would mean growing wiser. When I thought that growing up would mean I would understand. But here I am, considered an adult in everyone’s eyes except my own. Yet I can never mourn for my childhood, because I am still the child I used to be. And that is alright with me.
