Schadenfreude is also that one German construction we English speakers ever envy. But we actually do have an equivalent: epicaricacy. Use it five times in context and make it your own!
There are places I remember All my life , though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have there moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all
I Resign I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult...... I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 8yr old again.... I want to go to McDonalds and think its a four star restauraunt.... I want to sail sticks across a mud puddle and make ripples with rocks... I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them... I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer day.... I want to return to a time when life was simple.... When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables and nursery rhymes.... But that didn't bother you because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care...... All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried and upset.... I want to think the world is fair... That everyone is honest and good... I want to believe anything is possible... I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited about the little things.. I want to live simple again... I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork , depressing news... How to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, dr bills and gossip...Illness and loss of loved ones.. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, making angels in the snow.. So here's my checkbook, car keys, credit cards and all my responsibility... I am officially resigning from adulthood... And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first 'cause.... "TAG YOUR IT"
