My Life As I Present It (:
Writing, venting, escapism.
Growing up vs pet shops
Feeling: Nostalgic
Listening to: Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi

I remember how as a child, I would always look forward to going to the pet shops. Even if it were a small shop, it always seemed vast, endless, and magical, when we were little.

As an adult, when I see them now, all I could see are the cracks in the paint, the terrible management, the neglect for the pets, and the secret doors that lead to employee rooms. I see the excited kids that were once me, and many jaded adults that I might just be, at some point in my life.

But then I realize, that just because I understand the reality of how things are as an adult, it doesn't mean that I can't appreciate them for what they always meant to me growing up.

Oh my goodness. This makes me think of something I've recently been pondering. I've been becoming more and more aware to particular sinister reasoning behind some things... somethings that I once fancied very much and got much joy out of at one point. These days I try to avoid those things but I also remember that, I knew nothing so I personally was never doing anything wrong. Perhaps all I was doing was maybe like seeing the good and beauty that can linger in anything. =>
