oh darling, don't you ever grow up

oh hi guys! guess what?! I have a new blog reader as of tonight. yay! one of my closest friends read my blog and cried 4 times!!! can you believe that? wow! I love her, and I'm so glad that this somehow touched her. I don't understand why, but she's the best and I'm glad she can see this now along with the 2 other people that may or may not read this too! (ok so I wrote this and then I got one more friend to read this so that's exciting! hi friend ;) ) ok so about my day...I woke up and decided to skip the whole running thing because I felt lazy of course. then I went to the zoo all day with two friends and my friend's little brother. it was so precious running around all day with them, visiting all of the different exhibits, and just having so much fun. the monkeys are always my favorite cause I love how carefree they are! but obviously the dolphins are awesome too. they've always been my fav animals. funny story: I wrote a huge paper about dolphins in 5th grade and then I cried when I found out that I got to swim with them when I went to Mexico my freshman year! it was AWESOME. and basically my life was complete. ok so back to the zoo...ya I just loved feeling like a little kid again. frolicking at the zoo used to be my life when I was little but I hadn't gone in a longgggg time until today! all of the small children that were there were 1) extremely adorable (again I have an obsession with babies and I'm glad I didn't steal any 2) so innocent and tiny and it was crazyyyy to notice how much older I am and how I felt like an adult! YUCK! I just want to be little again! I'm really lucky to have friends that like doing dumb things that little kids do like side walk chalk and baking cupcakes and water gun fights, etc. etc. but sometimes I just miss when everything was simple and people weren't so stupid and ignorant. ok well today's song goes along with that....it is "Never Grow Up" by my girl Taylor Swift! (LOVE HER) ok here it is....

Never Grow Up

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older, too
And don't lose the way that you dance around
In your PJs getting ready for school

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

No one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have
Is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even through to you want to
Please try to never grow up

Don't you ever grow up
(Never grow up)
Just never grow up

ok so obviously everyone just has to love this song because T Swift just makes you miss your childhood. and I just get sad sometimes when I hear it because I start to hate myself for forgetting how to be little and worship my parents and be innocent. I babysat tonight and I spent the whole night with a 9 year old girl. It's crazy because she's really mature and so sweet, and I honestly had such a good time hanging out with her. I felt like she was just my friend. I was telling her about my life and she was telling me all about her crushes and best friends and she showed me all of her precious artwork. and she was so cute because she got super excited when I let her stay up till 10pm. I wanted to actually keep her up for longer just because I loved her company (which sounds super lame) but it was just nice to have a break from annoying teenagers. and it's funny because when I was little, all I wanted to do was grow up and be a "big kid" and stuff because I thought that would just be the coolest thing ever. but now I miss being little. and I never understood when everyone would say, "go to sleep, trust me you'll miss that when you're older". and now I do miss it. but I used to hope that my momma would let me stay up just a half hour longer till 8:30pm on a school night! (WOO WILD CHILD!) so basically the moral of this blog is that sometimes we all just need a little bit of time to be like a little kid again. and spend some time with some younggins cause they actually have so much wisdom and can be great. try not to get caught up in the drama of being older and forget about partying and all that stuff for two seconds and just try to never grow up. oh and always always always dance around in your PJs because it makes life so much better ;)
