When we first started talking about Little Women, there was quote about the story being rare because it is about “girls who want to be woman and not vice versa.” I found this to be really interesting to think about. To some extent I think the quote has a point in that when women grow up they tend to want to be young again but then again I think that young girls want to grow up in the same way. I always wanted to be older and able to drive and not have a bedtime. I remember the first time I watched TRL and I saw the girls that were like 16 and 17 years old and I thought that they looked happy and comfortable with who they were so i thought that it would be wonderful when I was their age. Now, I don’t know if I’d rather be younger or older. I’d love to not have so many responsibilities and maybe be a little more oblivious to life. On the otherhand, I’m excited to have a job, a family and not be in this limbo stage between a child and an adult. I feel like this is a strange age to be. Sometimes I feel like I am continually distancing myself from my childhood and it makes me want to go sit on a swing or chase lightning bugs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
