Listening to 'old time' music like backstreet boys and n'sync makes me think back to how simple things were back when we were all in primary school. When did things get so complicated? When did it start mattering what others thought about you? I remember when I was young, having fun and having friends were the most important thing. I'd come home and have a snack then go to my friends house to do "homework".
Way back then, boys had cooties and your best friend could be someone you met 2 minutes ago. There was no competition on who was prettier or smarter or who was more date-able. Sex wasn't an issue and a water fight would break out because it was fun, not because a guy wanted to see through your shirt.
Way back then, a game of tag was the only chase we worried about. The only makeup that we put on was our mother's because we were nosey. Dressing up consisted of going through your parents closets - not going out and looking like a 'slut'. The only touching or dancing we did was at arms length apart - or the length of a ruler, depending on what school you went to.
A part of me wants to go back to those times - things were simple and straight forward. We were smart about what we did and didn't over complicate every situation we got ourselves into. Too bad we're growing up without really knowing it. If only...
