A Letter to....my Childhood!

Dear Childhood,
It was fun while it lasted. I am now 21 years old, today, and I can no longer stay in the realm that is you. You protected me from having to grow up, and you know just how to keep me happy. BUT I must be moving on…
I know this will be hard but it must be like a band-aid and make a clean break! I will revel in the memories we have made together, but the part of my life called “Adulthood” is beckoning and I must go to the light that is maturity. I am sad and will never forget how we used to ride our bikes around the driveway, make fun of my sister, and play outside all day until the sun went down. How we were able to get dirty and not worry, because Mom and Dad would be there to clean us up. You have served me well, and I most certainly will dive into the immaturity that is childhood at some point in my next 21 years, so I will be seeing you if only for a fleeting moment. Thank you for all of the memories!
-Me
