Ohh to be young.

I sort of wish I had taken the other path through adolescence...
because maybe then I would have grown up a little slower, 
maybe then I would have learned to do things the right way instead of my own way.
Maybe if I had just taken a moment to slow down, and stop being so adult
I would be care free.
A different person,
but care free none the less. 
I wouldn't smoke
I would have a tattoo of a butterfly on my lower back
I would go to parties and get trashed at college like all my friends from growing up.
My parents would still be taking financial responsibility for me,
I would have a normal job to look forward to
with a normal life
and a normal husband
and probably kids too
I would listen to bands like Death Cab and Dave Matthew's 
I would drink from keg cups
and go to frat parties
I would work out excessively. 
I would be really in to Jesus,
and go to religious gatherings....
I mean I guess I'm not wishing all of this shit on myself, but I think it probably would have made my life, and it's events much easier.
I would have been beautiful but forgettable. 
With everything to look forward to
and minimal brains or will to think outside the box

I would have made better choices. 
I would have done so many things differently if I had known how I've limited myself.
.....
Or maybe not.
I mean, all of the bad things aside,
I have everything.

and you are far more interesting and more stunning than a cookie-cutter. Hey, have you seen those lawyers and business people out of jobs, the ones wearing the signs? so much for years of studying, student loans, shitty college jobs. I just hope all you do makes you happy darling. You are following your passion, because waiting and wishing isn't going to bring anything, i know that for sure. i like you.
