The Lovely Bones

I watched a pirated version of that today and it just left me with this feeling that despite how time feels so long it really is short. I often see kids playing and it feels like only yesterday when I was one of them. Seems in a blink of an eye you go from dreaming about the world to having to deal with it. And somewhere along the way from that transition, we drop off some of our fantasies in order to be realistic. We lose those rather silly childish dreams. Mine was to own a house filled with secret passageways so my own house could be a constant place to explore. I wonder if its really cuz I realized it was an outlandish dream or if I simply forgot what its like to explore. But, perhaps one day I can find myself alone in a town I don't know and instead of freak out about how lost I am can just enjoy a walk discovering new things. One day I'll discover the world and come out behind the books I'm buried beneath. Just hard at times remembering why I'm doing all this stuff. But, we do the things we need to do so one day we can do the things we want to. So, some day. Some day. Till then, I leave you with this line that reminds us all that we need to enjoy the time we have here. "I was here for a moment and then I vanished."
