What Happened?

    So this week my Grandma Kittie posted a picture on facebook of my cousin, M'Lee and me back in like 2004. I commented on how wow that was forever ago. It got me thinking, what happened? What happened to all of us hanging out and just having fun together? Making up dances to NSYNC and Backstreet Boys to perform for the family. What happened to stunting at family parties or even dance parties? What happened to just goofing off? Not even what happened to all of us cousins hanging out but what happened with the world? What happened to music that was just fun to listen to and made you want to find that "true love"? What happened to the music that didn't talk about sex, drugs or partying? What happened to asking the person you like out on a date, not a "lets hang out"? What happened to actually talking about problems or even just talking on the phone for hours or even just a couple of minutes? What happened to writing letters to people? What happened to actually calling someone on their birthday? What happened to our imaginations? What happened to believing in magic and believing dreams to come true?

    The world has changed. Now a lot of that is because we grow up. We realize that we can't be sitting around making up silly dances that no one is really going to remember in a week. We realize that the world is not all happy and joyful. But some of those things why have they changed? Why does no one ask each other on dates? Why does no one write letters to people anymore [except for the LDS culture where that is the only way we can contact our lovely missionaries]? Why do we not call people anymore?Think about it. Why? What has changed? We can still speak and write so why don't we? So much could change if we just speak out and say what is on our minds to someones face and not hide behind facebook, texting or in this case blogging. Seriously, what has this world come to? Remember when we were younger and believed in fairy tales and that everything is going to work out because that can still happen. Fairy tales yeah you are more in likely not going to find a legit prince with a throne but you can find a knight in shinning armor who can make you happy, that can be your fairy tale. Yeah life sucks, I know for first hand but the things that make it suck does not compare to the stuff that makes life amazing  why not do all of these things that do make life that much better. So what happened world? What happened?
