I just realized this yesterday:  Pretty much everything I buy is based on what my mom wouldn't buy me when I was a kid.  Not to diss my mom.  She's great.  But she denied me like most moms would.  I can definitely say that it helped shape who I am today.  Since I'm still that same 6-year-old kid in a 23-year-old's body (and 45-year-old's clothes), I bought some cookies from the food store yesterday.  But in addition to the cookies, I got a few boxes of fruit snacks and a package of those pumpkin-shaped candies that have the same consistency as candy corn.  These are things that my mom would've said no to.  And that's part of the reason I bought them.  I'm in a phase in my life where I'm doing everything I couldn't do when I was a kid.  I'm buying candy, playing video games, staying up late [not anymore], etc.  I wonder when this phase will end?  When will I become a real grownup? #psychology
