Transitions

Remember the last time you first rode your three-wheel drive? The pride and excitement of owning your very own "vehicle". And not long after, the sweet yearning of owning a two-wheel drive. One that marks progression; of growing up. The sweet innonence of childhood, the pure joy and excitement transitions bring. However as we grow older, transitions do not seem to bring the same kind of excitement, but that of sluggish feet and tired expressions. Hitting at big 2-0 and beyond dampens the youthful eagerness we all once possessed. Growing up seems to entail the possession of "freedom" and material wealth, but the loss of the treasured youthful joy and care-free-ness children possess. With responsibilities comes worries, and worries "kill" the innocent child who just wants to stay young. No wonder everybody wants to be young again.
