Growing Up To Fast?

I have to say, I've always been the more responsible out of my age group, even above my age group. I would go to Kentucky with my church, the teenagers would be at the bonfire, I would want to be reading my book. I would be on the Confirmation Retreat with my church, the teenagers would make comments about who's the hottest boy at the retreat, I would want to actually pay attention to what the adult was saying. Most of the teenagers would call adults by there first name, I'm trying to change that for me, I know call all of my adult friends Mrs., Ms., or Mr., very rarely do I call them by their first name, unless they want me to.

Just recently I was decorating a poster board for a story time that I'm putting on and let's just say that I'm not the most creative person out there. The director of the library Mrs. T, asked me where my creativty was, and that I needed to embrace my inner child. Since then I've been thinking, maybe I do need to embrace my inner-child, maybe I need to realize that I grew up a little too fast, I didn't enjoy my life as a child as an actual child, I cared too much about making money, wanting to buy a CD (Certificate of Deposit), what stock to invest in, politics, reading, nothing like Barbies, ponies (ok well I did care about ponies), my hair, dresses, etc. So I've made myself a reselution with my birthday coming up, I'm going to spend the next year, embracing my inner-child, I'm going to do the stuff that I should have never let go, I'll still be mature, but I'm not going to be overly mature, and grown up. Maybe I should just give myself some time to have fun, and not worry about money, the economy, homework, politics, political issues, and stuff like that. Maybe I should keep them in mind, but shouldn't keep them in my way to prevent me having a life as a kid. So from now on, I'm going to embrace my inner-child, and maybe you'll just recognize the change, maybe you wont, or maybe to recognize the change you need to embrace your inner-child also.
