My Early Memory Of Adulthood: My First Memories Of Childhood

Everything seemed to happen so fast. Growing up, some may say they are thankful that their childhood is over. Some may be clutching onto everything they can to keep their childhood going. Not me. I am like a ball mid-throw, neither here nor there. Floating. Living everyday as it comes. The younger me would have done anything to be older, to feel a sense of freedom. It doesn’t feel like freedom, it’s scary, not knowing what to do. Childhood was great, laughing at the most stupid things, ”getting away with murder” I see adulthood being just as fun but, being a teenager is hard. It’s that part in life, like that ball mid-throw. Not sure if you have thrown hard enough to get to where you need to be.

I remember being so excited to be just like my sister, being grown up, in school with my perfect uniform. Well that was until I got to school and realised my mum couldn’t come with me. I was like a fountain. Tears, I was scared. I didn’t want her to leave. My uniform was no longer perfect. My cheeks were stained from the tears.

Of course they wouldn’t. In this day and age people need to be thankful for everything that happens to them, even the bad things. If these things didn’t happen then you may not have the same opportunities given to you. I know that if I didn’t take the opportunity to do some things in my life I would have regretted it, even if it didn’t go to plan, it was a new experience, an experience that wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t take the opportunity.

If someone were to ask me ‘would I change any of it if I could?’ I would honestly say no. I loved my childhood, I have so many memories from growing up, most of them are just laughing with my friends but they are good memories. I wouldn’t even change the bad ones because most of the time it led to good ones. In life if nothing bad ever happens to you, sure you are quite lucky but you won’t have the same experience as others and you won’t be as thankful for the good times. I had a very happy childhood, it was hard at times but my mum always did her best to give us everything she could and that’s all she ever
