I Am A Child Stuck In An Adult's Body

I may look old but I am young and fun on the inside.

I Am A Child Stuck In An Adult's Body

The truth is, I will always be a little kid stuck in an adults body. I just turned 21, and people always ask me, "are you 21 or 12?" Yet, I have no shame about this because it keeps me young, and definitely more fun!

I hate the taste of alcohol.

I much rather have juice, soda, milkshakes or simply just water. I'll never understand how people can actually enjoy the taste of alcohol ... yuck!

I love candy.

I try to eat healthy for the most part. However, I have a larger sweet tooth than the children I babysit. I will never (ever) turn down chocolate or any type of sugary treat for that matter.

I enjoy children's movies.

I pay better attention to children's movies than serious adult movies. "Big Hero 6," "The Angry Birds Movie," and "Home" are a few of my favorites. These movies are more colorful and even include adult humor if you listen close enough!

I can't sit still.

My mother always told me this is the reason we do not go to church ... or anywhere that requires you to sit quietly for a long period of time. I hate having to be quiet and still as it makes me anxious. School has always been a struggle for me because it is hours on end of quietly sitting and listening to the teacher teach ... this was torture for me! I don't necessarily take this as a bad quality though, as I always enjoy being active!

I am a picky eater.

I dislike the taste of meat, fish, most vegetables, and anything too spicy. I also won't eat anything that looks too outrageous or "scary." It's harder to take me out to eat than it would be to bring a five year old child. I also get full way too fast, meaning that I never end up finishing the meal which took hours for me to finally order.

I don't enjoy staying out late.

When I get tired, I get grumpy. When I am out with my friends, I am always the first to go home as I don't want my grumpy attitude ruining their night. I go to bed early and wake up early, very similar to what children do.

I need a lot of attention.

Guilty. I am #needyAF and all of my closest family members and friends know that. I hate being alone and therefore always need a person by my side. If I am happy, sad, mad, bored, lonely, or anything in between, I need to talk to someone about it. It it alright though, because the majority of my friends are the same way, which is probably why we are friends.

I cry when I'm hungry.

Have you ever heard of the term, "hangry?" It is when one gets angry when they are hungry. It is a very real thing.

I still want birthday parties.

This is the worst thing about getting older! Birthday parties are not a regular thing anymore ... lame! Each year I enjoy celebrating my birthday with all of my friends, even if my mom doesn't plan it anymore. It is a day celebrating me full of presents and cake! Again, #needyAF.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
