I remember growing up, when the world seemed so big and I seemed so small. A harsh realization that who we are doesn't always change in size but the layers of our problems grow wildly inside. Sometimes I try to peel back the layers like an onion to better understand where I really am. But then I get sleepy and just want to crawl back under the covers in search of comfort.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

This is beautiful. Yes, let’s go back to bed
I couldn’t relate more to this. You’ve captured life as an adult and it’s hard because we do discover more and more things to fix in ourselves. Many people around us aren’t exactly the most understanding either.
