Simplicity.

I miss the crayons.
I miss the polly pockets.
I miss Even Stevens, That's so Raven, Phil of the Future. 
I miss recess.
I miss Pluto being a planet.
I miss playing dress up.
I miss being told you can be anything.
I miss not worrying about grades.
I miss not caring about makeup, clothes, and relationships.
I miss not shaving my legs.
I miss playing princess.
I miss pretending.
I miss being outside 24/7 no matter if there was rain, sun, or snow.
I miss light-up shoes and heelys.
I miss the simplicity.

TIME TO GROW UP.

My crayons got replaces with pencils.
My polly pockets got replaced with a job.
My t.v. shows got replaced with homework.
Recess got replaced with attendance school.
Pluto got replaced with robots.
Dress up got replaced with Coco Chanel.
Being told you could be anything got replaced with discouragement.
Not worrying about grades got replaced with college applications.
Not caring about makeup, clothes, and relationships got replaced with peer pressure.
Not shaving got replaced with a razor.
Playing princess got replaced with waiting tables.
Pretending got replaced with logic.
Being outside got replaced with iPhones.
Heelys got replaced with heels.
No more simplicity.
