That's SO L.A.

cashleelee:

all we wanted to do was grow up so we could finally “live our lives”, but now I’d give anything to be a kid again. i feel like i didn’t cherish childhood enough and now, i dont know if i can ever bring that beautiful girl back.

maybe we can learn from our former selves: lets aim for imagination and truth instead of expectations and facades; let’s crave satisfaction from fact instead of fleeting opinions. let’s fill entire days by sitting alone with legos and dolls and possibilities - from spending hours by ourselves and beside our parents. let’s wake up early, run in the park, actually pay attention in classes and fall asleep in our own beds. our golden age can shine past puberty - it can be real and beautiful and ours forever.

i swear, i’ve been looking in all the wrong places for everything i used to have, everything i thought i’d always have and therefore always took for granted.
