Everybody knows it sucks to grow up

Reality check people, growing up is terrible, horrible, worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. We all do it though so our real reality is to "Grow up and shut up" I miss the days where I could do what I wanted when I wanted. High school was a wonderful time for me. Lots of friends, sports, clubs, you name it I did it. What I didn't realize is how much the "real world" is just like high school. OK so maybe I can't play sports or join any clubs but my friends have remained the same. I like to think I have remained the same. I didn't get the nickname Kidd just because.

What's hard for me to remember is that I am not a kid anymore. I can't play 6 volleyball games in one day like I used to, my body won't let me. I can't stay up and party like I used to, my mind won't let me. I can't be twenty places at one time like I used to, my job won't let me. I know your now asking yourself, why are you being such a Debbie Downer. I am not, I can assure you of that. What I am trying to say is that the past is the past. Our future is what we make it. I can't live in the past every day and hope to have success in my future. I can't look back and say what if? You have to choose to be happy everyday. It was easy when I was younger because I was able to do things that I wanted that made me happy. Now I have to make sure I do the things I loved to keep me happy. Writing, singing, coaching, laughing. Whatever it may be I CHOOSE to be happy everyday.

Growing up will never keep my happiness in the dark. I will forever and always be a POSITIVE POLLY!!
