Never Grow Up!

Yes, Im 20 years old and I still want to be 5. Today the weather was just perfect, so spending a few hours outside playing with Mindy's kids was exactly how I wanted to spend my time. How precious it is to be apart of their lives. How treasured those times are when they ask me to push them on the swings, or play catch, or to throw a ball at them while they swing and kick it as far as they can. How happy those moments made me, and of course having the sun out made the experience all the more enjoyable.
As the title of this post says, Never Grow Up. Well tonight we went and played at NickleCade, its an arcade place where everything is played with nickles instead of tokens, Man, it was SO fun! Ammon took me and Mikhail took a girl named Taylor. We all had a blast! Between the 4 of us we made like 2,000 tickets! We got a weird Pig haat, a blowup ax, some handcuffs, and a pretend cigar, as well as lots of candy! When we went and saw the movie Act of Valor we all took one thing in...i got to wear the pig hat. Wow the looks I got were classic. I was happy I could be a kid for the night and just have fun with my friends.

I know Ive quoted T-swift in past posts but I love her song that I have to post some of the lyrics! 
What truth is spoken in this song, and how much it hits so close to home with me.

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder that I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
