Remember when we were little kids and all we wanted to do was become a grown-up, independent woman? Yeah, that. What were we thinking? We thought it would be cool to earn our own money and splurge it on whatever we liked. But life doesn’t always turn out the way we thought it would. Adult life is a different ball game altogether and more often than not, we just want to be a kid again.
