Peter Pan
February 16, 2009
I have had one of those days. You know the kind. So as a result I have decided to resign from adulthood. I just really don’t want to do it anymore. I’m going to adopt Peter Pan’s philosophy and just not grow up. Do you remember how great life was when you were a kid? At least that’s how I’ve chosen to remember it and it was great. I’m tired of being responsible. I’m tired of always doing what I‘m supposed to do. Maybe I just want to go outside for recess and play. I could really use a good swing set or better yet a nice tire swing. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Spending the day hanging onto a tire swing. Ah sweet peace.
I know it’s just a fantasy but wouldn’t it be nice if we could step into a new existence just for a little while. Be someone else perhaps a Fairy Princess or a Frontier Woman or maybe even a Superhero. Just to be able to let down your guard because no one knows you. I am now Princess Frontier: Superhero to the old west. So what do I, Princess Frontier, want to do today? I’d like to ride a horse. Fast, really, really fast, with my hair flying in the wind, absolutely no fear as I race across the plains. My heart pounding so fast it wants to jump from my chest. The excitement, the exhilaration from the adrenaline, I am free! And while I’m at it I may as well save the cattle from the stampede. And help the good guys beat the bad guys. And then help build the settlement, and, and, and, STOP! This sounds a lot like my real life!
Maybe I’ll be like Huck Finn and get others to do all the work while I go fishing. Yeah that sounds way better. So someone else is saving the cattle, and someone else is helping the good guys, and someone else is building the settlement and I’m just fishing by a peaceful stream. I can feel the warm sun on my face. My skin is being softly touched by a gentle breeze. Life is good as Princess Frontier: Superhero to the old west. What’s that I feel, it’s a tugging on my line. It’s a fish! How exciting for me, a fish. What a wonderful fantasy. But then I'm brought back, what time is it? Drat, it’s time for me, Princess Frontier: Superhero to the old west, to fix dinner. I wonder if I have any fish in the fridge? Well at least it was fun while it lasted.
