Growing Up.

"Ignorance is learned; innocence is forgotten.
JOSÉ BERGAMÍN."
"We each begin in innocence.
We all become guilty."
LEONARD F. PELTIER.

So I've had a little bit of an epiphany this December, being christmas and all, I've realized that all the magic is gone. Every single last bit of it...is gone. Even putting up the christmas tree this year was different. And those opening quotes explain it all, we are all born with sich purity and innocence and it all becomes corrupted after a while. I miss the magic christmas would bring, I miss believing that their was a Santa Claus, or secretly knowing there wasnt but appreciating how much everyone would still pretend there was. But the truth is after a while everyone stops pretending, and quite frankly its sad. Now we really have nothing to look forward to, as much as we all secretly want to grasp on to our youth and never let go, we cant. We have to let go after a while and as much as it pains us its something we cant change.
