Take me back....

Take me back to simpler times. When the choices we made were rather if we wanted the cookie or the ice cream. Where thirty-five cents was all you needed for snacks. Where we had no worry about anything. When all we waited for was the bell to ring for recess. Before we grew the fear of rejection. Back when crushes were cute and cartoons were great. Take me back.

Time ticks away as I type the next word. Time. What is that anyway. Just a name. How sad that we can describe a persons whole existence in one word. Life. What happens if the next moment is our last. What if everything we had, scratch that, everything we thought we had is all a facade. If everything we thought we did to better our lives didn't mean shit.

It brings me back to a story I heard. Basically his life was told to me like this. Man works hard all his life. He does great in high school, gets into a good college. He works hard in college to be able to get what he wants. The day comes, graduation. He graduates.

Then he passes away that night.

Life eh?
