Too Young

You were young, but wanted to be older.

Aging is natural, but as you might have noticed, at some point, you didn't want to age anymore.

So, being young, wanting to be older, is a desire soon to be lost entirely.

So, wanting to be older is distracting, unnecessary, and gets kids into trouble.

Be young.

Be too young.

Enjoy being young.

Oh yeah, too late now.

So now, TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR TEEN YEARS.

Close your eyes, lay down and think about how things might have been if you knew what you know now.
