_**RESIGNATION**_ I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes,mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow. So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my RRSP statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........ ......"Tag! You're it." Remember the Simple things in Life. ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

My own May 4th

1995年5月 4日下午,我從啟德機場出發,離開很多年來建立的人和事。心情其實是充滿祈盼,我想擺脫的其實也很多。從那時至今,我一真在搬家,各大大小小,曾住上一個月的地方,最少有十五個。

1996年5月 4日,在溫哥華的家開派對,與全新的一批朋友在一起,暗地慶幸新生活漸漸成形。1997,我也是開派對慶祝,那是非常快樂的日子。1998,也是開派對,人物也大至一樣,日子也開始變成平淡。1999至2001都是灰色的日子,沒有顏色的迷糊。之後幾年,在不斷搬遷的生活中,有時,我會忘了這一天。

2006 年5月4日下午,我在上課,想起這個日子,不想再忘記。
