When I was embarking onto my middle school years I was always told that I was changing. Many things were forced upon me and many things I didn't want to show. One of those things was my hobbies as a child. I would play with my army guys, Star Wars action figures and I would collect them. I was afraid to let anyone know that I did this. I told my dad this one day and he said, "enjoy your childhood because it only comes once." So, I played with them but with a little more ease. I think one of the reasons I didn't want to show them to people was because I wanted to look like a "grownup," looking back, I was wrong.
Looking back on this I wish I was back in my childhood years. Clear heart, light work load, enjoyed almost anything, played sports with anybody and everybody, and life is so simple. Life wasn't polluted then, now you have to worry about protection, money, future, and so many other factors that entwine your life. So much knowledge comes with so much responsibility. You have to enjoy every step in life to enjoy the life that you have. That's what this quote taught me. Enjoy and be contempt with what you have and enjoy your life, it could be so much harder. Also, be yourself.

ReplyDeleteI like your lesson it's something not many people cherish because it seems like everyones just rushing to be older.
ReplyDeleteI was so into army guys when i was younger i used LEGOS to make army forts and i would make them have little battles. I think i still he them in my attic i should pull them out sometime.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I often find myself wishing I had appreciated the 9:00 am school starting time and the barley any homework load factor more.
