Yes indeed she is. The only reason im posting a topic is because i'll be graduateing the 8th grade. I'm so excited about this and going to high school and yet i don't want to grow up. To me it seems everything is moving to fast for me to catch up. And i had a philosophy on time. "As a child your willing to grow up in age. And you wait to see in excitement what you've become. I've grown up now and i can see whom i be but what now is to come to me? Life is too short to sit around and wait. So why wait?" What you guys think about this topic? I'd really like an answer so PLEASE HELP!! lol. ~Zach~ |

Rain: Why rush? Time, that old mystery, seems to speed up, slow down, and speed up again in growth cycles. One thing seems sure, nobody has all the time in the world. To be able to step back and see yourself as you've become is a useful, lifelong trait. Best wishes, Jimbeaux  |

Zach, I love that you think these thoughts and express them as you do. What do I think? I think that you should enjoy the feel of a warm dirt road under bare feet in the summer. I think you should find a creek and go fishing, skinny dipping, and just getting your hair wet on a hot day. I think you should laugh with your friends. I think you should explore your talent in writing. Try a journal if you have not. I think it is hard not to rush at your age. You feel ready to move on and you can't yet. It's the beginning of a limbo time almost -- but, I agree with Jim. I think you should seek out the things you enjoy and savor them. There may come a time when you look back at that cornfield you are in the middle of and you will be thinking of the things that you liked -- and you may not be there. I am kind of going through that now. I grew up in the middle of no where - I wanted to leave. Now, I look back and think of that warm dirt road, the creek and the freedom that I had to just savor where I was. Every day is the beginning of our "good old days" - don't wait to wish you had enjoyed them. Enjoy today. Enjoy your tomorrow. Soon enough you will be working, maybe have a family, and be like me -- wondering why gas is so high and just what the heck is going on with fuel and electricity. Not fun, Zach. Enjoy now - it's what you have. That's what I think. Alison |

ESS: Can it really be possible that I am agreeing with you, what, three or four times in a row now across threads? Are you espousing the eternal Now? I've been espousing that for as long as I can't remember because it isn't "there" anymore. I'm getting jicky as a road lizard over this. Hit me with a stick! Best, Jimbeaux  |
