the future freaks me out.

I remember when I was younger I always prayed to God that time would just freeze and everything would remain as it was. I was so afraid of growing older and moving towards the future. I liked my life as it was, being carefree, not having to deal with responsibilities and what not. I couldn't imagine myself in my late 20's, having a job, living on my own, and being independent. I still think about that thought and I still feel the same way. Though, I suppose I'm more accepting of the future now because that's life.
