While having more freedom nowadays is totally amazing, there are so many things we forget that were so much better when we were ten years old. Looking back on the past there are many things I would trade right now for the freedom I have.
1. Pimples
No matter how clear your skin may be, the day you have to take a picture for your sorority up close and personal you have a huge pimple on your chin. Remember the days of clean and clear. Now you are stuck buying every kind of acne cream, wash, medication that you can get. They never work too! Then you go online and look up ways to get rid of pimples fast. You realize you are making a mask out of gelatin and milk...
2. Periods
It is that time of the month again when world war three begins down south. You are chained to your bed because you know if you even try to move on day one of your period it will take an hour. Even before you get your period you are PMSing and yelling at anyone who crosses paths with you. Then if you don't get your period people think you are pregnant... but lets be honest. You know the only way you could be pregnant is if its a baby made by god. You cry for no reason. Crave endless amounts of chocolate and salty foods. You bloat like a rhino. You feel like a rhino. It just really is not a fun time.
3. Acceptable Nudity
Psh... you walk around naked or slightly naked and you are a whore. Sometimes it is just nice to lay in bed with no pants on. If you were even showing a little too much then it could be said you are violating public nudity. Imagine having that one on your record.
4. Nap Time
While we can take naps whenever we want now we know that if we take a nap at 2 P.M. on a Wednesday that we will be up at 2 A.M. finishing our assignment that we were supposed to be doing at the time while we were napping.
5. Bras
Having boobs now is just a struggle in itself. If you don't wear a bra you know everyone will be looking at your second set of eyes. When you wear a bra for too long you feel like you can hardly breathe. You gain a little bit of weight and you go up a bra size. Next thing you know you are a Double D and not fitting into any more of the sexy bras.
6. Thongs
Wow the days where full underwear were a thing. Now we voluntarily choose to stick a piece of fabric so far up our tush that we don't even know its there.
7. Easy Relationships
Throw back to when you liked someone you would just tell them. Now we go through friends to see if the guy even know we exist. Dates? Barely exist anymore... you want a date? Meet me in my bed later.
8. Money
Although if we really think about it... money is paper and paper does come from trees. But, no. Money does not grow on trees and we actually have to earn ever dollar we make. Remember how rich you used to feel when you would get five dollars from the "Tooth Fairy"???
9. Food
Either you eat too little now, or too much. You want that slice of Pizza? Well be prepared to run 10 miles tomorrow at the gym. Forget the food part you also have to buy the food yourself. You go food shopping by yourself. You begin to realize how gross meat looks before it is cooked. I guess the vegetarian life is the better choice..... just kidding... ill take a bacon cheeseburger.
While I love being older and making my own responsibilities I wish I could go back in time every once in a while. Am I right?
