When I was a kid things were so simple. I though I had the whole world figured out. I figured that my life would be simple. I could always get the guy. I have blonde hair and blue eyes and that's what everyone told me was beauty. When I was a kid, all that seemed to matter what getting the guy, but now I find that my blonde hair, and my blue eyes don't get the guy, and even if they did, I wouldn't want it that way. Man, things have changed.

I never thought I would have to worry about grades, or teachers, or my life after the guy. It never even registered in my sheltered mind that things might exist outside of my world. Now I worry about anger, and violence, and pedophiles, and most of the time, getting the guy doesn't even cross my mind.

Things were simpler then.
