I miss the life which once was.

Remember how when you were younger ice-cream always could make you feel better, it was the sweetest thing, even sweeter than lollies. Or how a kiss from a loved one would automatically cure the pain of a skinned knee quicker then any antiseptic ever could? Or how about how sleep was amazing if it was in the arms of your mother. I remember taking walks with my mother, and how everything would amaze me. The world was beautiful then with all its pinks and blues and greens. I would admire stray dogs and abandoned newspapers and the ladies who would get dolled up for a lover and such. I once asked mum if i could have one, they looked like dolls, she smiled and said no. I remember how waking up in the mornings was the only reason i slept at night, because it was in the mornings that i could jump out of bed, and sit infront of the tv eating my bowl of cornflakes and watching cartoons. It was in the mornings that i could run outside with lime green shorts and not care about how i looked. It was then i could play with friends, and our imaginations would always invent us some kind of crazy game. It was then i was fully content. I wish i was young again, 17 seems too old for me. I just wanted to write about this, i dont know why. funny isnt it? how when we were younger we would wish we were older, and now that we are older we long to be young again.

Thats kinda how it goes…lol. But we just have to make sure we dont miss the life we got for the sake of missing the life we used to have. Life comes in phases. Im 27 now. I miss the days i just played outside with my cousins all day.. but i also miss the days i just went out with my boyfriend and enjoyed a movie or the mall or that longing i had to just go to his house to see him on the weekends..lol. then as things went on.. i now miss that time when we were married and just us here - working on the house - spending time together in the afternoon.. just deciding to get up and go whenever we wanted. ..lol… each phase of life comes with a new one. And with the new - we always miss the old to some degree. Im sure one day i will miss the stage of being mom and dad to kids in the house as they start to leave the nest..lol.. but then we get to enter another stage of life - and i get to embrase the new and exciteing adventures of that. And so life goes - …lol. Cherish all phases of it.

I guess it’s maybe because as we grow old, stuff get’s harder and more complicated but when you’re young, everything is simplistic and innocent. We yearn to be older when we’re young because it seems fun and we don’t know better. I know I’d rather be 6, eating my ice cream, and listening to The Beatles in the car or living room than where I’m at right now; going on 18, going to college, friends leaving, dating and getting hurt, and seeing my parents get sick and/or grow old.

Everything that was my childhood seems so far away in the past now (also because it was in California & I now live 2 states away) and I know that I still have a lot to go.

I really enjoyed this post of yours. It made me remember a time when heartache and pain never really existed. Being young and blissfully unaware of all the terrible things that could happen in the world is all a part of life that I’m sure everyone experiences at one point. I’m 21 now and basically in the eyes of the law I’m an adult, but I still feel like a kid, you know? Love and relationships at this time of my age has caused me so much pain being that the only girl that I ever loved for a long 6 years cheated on me and left me for him. When you’re young, you don’t have to worry about situations such as these, you shouldn’t.

I wish I were young again as well.

Thankyou all for your replies. Your all so right, and If i could make you remember the days when you were young, then that means that I’ve done a pretty good job, which makes me smile. :)
