youth in motion. .

"in youth we learn; in age we understand." - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

As I sit here in the mall at the children's play area; my ears are rambled with the noise of youth, my son runs with a pack of children like lions in their den, they are the kings and queens of the world in this very moment. Realizing truth, in these moments I feel hope within my older years, I am old but my heart is touched by the young, by youth, by feelings of innocence.

It's strange when we're young; we feel that we're unimportant and undesirable due to the status of youth. We're told constantly of what to do and what we may or may not be or act like, pushing us to the point of wishing constantly: "I can't wait until I'm grown up and I'll never have to listen to what anyone says or tells me to do." Though we grow older and realize the facts about age; bills, taxes, jobs, bosses we hate, friends that torment us, and LOVE that destroys us. So much has changed and I find it difficult to deal with being an adult.

Hilarious how it happens; how we change our minds at once when we get what exactly we wanted to begin with. A child grows and wishes of independence from their family to happen, only to realize the hardship of truth and the thankful bonds of being with family, of being of the youth. We as humans are always conflicted, we want what we want but when we need something fear strikes us to the point of necessity.

Want; our facade which we continue to supply in order to complicate things.. We want alcohol, we want companionship, we want sex. Need; our complete basis of life. We need food, we need sleep, we need Love. Our main difference in it all; our youth we wish for wants, but as we grow older we realize our needs..

"wants were available for him, though his needs were taken, and imprison from his heart. - Ryan D.
