Dear childhood, When I was small, all I wanted was to grow up. Just so that I could be an adult who could do anything she wanted, without being told that, “You’re too small for that. Wait till you grow up”. I hated having to wake up, and get dressed for school. All I wanted […]

It seems to always be that way. Can we have a do-over please? I still get told I’m too small to do things. Physically, I’m only 5’1″ so it stands to reason…but tell me I can’t do something and I will prove you wrong! LOL 🙂

Sweet and cute poem, Shweta. Yes as children we wanted to grow up as adults as we did not like to study the boring lessons but today we feel hope we were children and enjoying our blissful lives.

I could totally resonate with this. How earthly is the want, to be in places we can’t be, as a child we wish to be adults and now if we get to escape to our childhood we would without a second thought💞
