Yes, it makes me sad...mainly because I don't remember most of my childhood and what I do remember is not very good... "What we remember from childhood we remember forever - permanent ghosts, stamped, inked, imprinted, eternally seen." ~Cynthia Ozick
No doubt about that...and it seems to get shorter, the older you get. I'm 41 and it depresses me to think my life may be half over already. My first grandchild was born this year and I really wanna see him grow. I'm not so sure I would want to see how the world ends though, because I don't think it's gonna be in a good way. The future scares me...I can barely keep up as it is now...so much technology coming at us so fast.
I wish my childhood wasn't as fun as it was. Reason being is that everything else just seems like such a let down compared to all the new discoveries/experiences during your childhood. Once you reach adulthood, you've been primed to enter the ratrace. Days, weeks, months, and years, all mold together and you wonder where the last 10 years went.
Almost started to cry today in my calculus class while reminiscing on my kid life. Plus fat old sun (pink floyd) was in my head, and i love that song.
My grandmother told my father that when hes 50 to turn back the clock and be a kid again. In other words people tell you that you need to be an "adult. Be mature. be a man/woman. You cant be a kid forever." I say Oh Rly?! Why cant you enjoy life. Why do things have to be so serious. Just because you have the responsibilities of a mature individual does not mean you have to lose your zest for living, for partying, for fun. I believe that childhood and its memories should be the START of an even better more fun life till the day you die. Life does not lose its fun and mystery at 18 or 21 or 40 because if it did there would be no point to living to 80 or 70. You live as wild, fun, and happily as you choose to. Society does not dictate your life or freedom just your responsibilities.
my childhood is a bunch of memories of me getting hurt... torn muscles and ligaments, broken sprained and fractured bones...
