keys to the ivy league

we grow up a little more each and every day.
no matter how old you get, you're always growing up.
there's always going to be that something you said or that thing you did
last week or last year
that you regret.
go ahead, chalk it up to immaturity.
i do.
i'm growing and changing every day.
looking back at some of the things i've written, some of my reactions towards events,
i can't help but shake my head, my cheeks flushing from embarrassment.
we all do stupid things.
i'd like to think i'm learning from mine,
but i guess time will tell if i actually am or not.
in the course of just one week, so many things have changed.
it's like my whole life was just lying there on the bedsheet, and someone decided to grab the corners and pull it tight, watching everything on it just jumble and shake around.
things are weird.

well, the point is, we all feel high and mighty when we look back and see how silly we reacted or how dumb we sounded.
but we shouldn't get lofty;
next month, we're just simply going to look back at today,
stick out our pinkies,
and chuckle over our naivety and simplicity.

such is life. i'm just tagging along for the ride.
