"You know that point in life when you realize the house
you grew up in isn't really your home anymore?"
~Garden State
If you're really lucky, it seems to me, that when you're a kid you view the world around you through rose colored glasses. I was lucky enough to be one of those kids. The hard part of that comes later though, when you grow up and see things from a different perspective. When you are forced to see things for what they really are... It can be the smallest thing- like the belief in Santa Claus. It can be the realization that your parents are really... PEOPLE. But sometimes, it's a harder lesson. It's completely shocking and sobering when you discover that what you THOUGHT about a certain situation or a certain person was, in fact, wrong. Well maybe not wrong. I believe that perception is reality.
It's a lot like the time I first got glasses in fifth grade. I remember driving home from the eye doctor and looking out the window of my mom's blue Honda feeling shocked that I could actually see the leaves on the trees. I had always seen the trees and the leaves but now, I was seeing them in a new way. Through new eyes, per se. That's a lot like how it feels now. Except not as cool.
