Back in the old days, most of us never had to worry about anything. We were childish, youngsters, and carefree. we dont carry a cartload of responsibilities as much as adults. And, we like that? dont we? we didnt have to wash dishes, vacuum the carpet, and help around the house much or at least, we didnt had it hard. remember, we were amaze of pets running around your house, cool pets in the car passing by you? And ... perhaps, our funny spiders experiences? Oh man, we never had to care about looking "pretty", "cute", and "good-looking". We were already cute. We dont have to shop for acne products, new fashions, styles, and shampoos. We didnt care much about it. It didnt bother us until now, puberty changes conflict our lives. Nowadays, we spend time being more responsible and mature around the house. we no longer expert at seeing and believing miracles. we left childhood ... a while ago.
![]() Open your eyes now, you're an old hag. Do well in school; get into whatever college and graduate. If you can do well during these years, you will most likely have a better child. You will treat them a good childhood years without having to worry too much about paying bills, over working, and money. What a child need … is you. ![]() Do you like being a child or adult/teenagers? What was your experience in life? what was so great about it? Why is one better than the other? haha, i'm so random ;] |

Oh. See, when I think of this, I don't wish to "go back,"--I wish I was a happier kid.
I mean, I dislike my childhood, but if I could go back and redo it, sure. For the past few months, my worries and anxiety have been surrounding my future. I don't consider myself an adult, though I'm very close to being one, but there are many more responsibilities and things to worry about than say, chores. I don't mind doing them because they don't signify that my childhood is over, but just an annoyance. What scares me, though, is the dependence I have on my family. I don't grow close to people easily, so they really are the ones I depend on to get things done without feeling anxious or sick, and if they're not around, then I just get sick. It's not so much that I enjoy their company, but..stability. It's relieving to know that they can help. And it's comforting to not have to worry about the proper etiquette of things.. I worry about sitting alone in a restuarant, going to places alone, paying for things and losing my money, and just..effing up little things like that--you have no idea how I fear BIG things. That makes me wish I could go back and be a happy kid. But thinking of my childhood makes me sick. I was an awkward child then; now I'm just an awkward teenaged girl. There are a few advantages to being this age, though, I think. Like..increased knowledge? Being able to see things in a completely different light and to empathize rather than only thinking selfishly as we did as kids? Uhm..yeah. Yeah, my mind is probably the only thing I like about this age.. |
