But it was nice just to chat to dad today about the good old times. I make him laugh and he's one of the few people who can respect my raw sarcasm. He was telling me random things I used to do as a little kid and I can't help but reminisce. I miss the little girl I once was.. so innocent and free. I miss how when I scraped my knee or the video player would stuff up and I couldn't watch the lion king, and these were the most devastating parts of my day. I've made a lot of mistakes in life, but I'm surviving. I'm an independent person and that became abundantly clear when Dad was telling me that I was always wise beyond my years, even as a child. When you grow up in a similar situation to me you learn that you have to become wise, become older or you simply don't fit in in your world. I never sat around playing 'dolls' and having 'tea parties' instead I'd want to go and visit family and try and hold intelligent conversations with them. Of course none of them took me seriously, but now I finally find they are. It's a good feeling, all I need now is a job. A place to show everyone that I don't need a piece of paper to prove what I can do. A chance is all I'm looking for, and if I keep searching hopefully I will discover that chance.
Last day of Winter hey? and I can't act like I'm not excited.It's draws us ever closer into spring ... which in turn brings us to my favourite season of all SUMMER! I love summer more then I love life. It means late nights skinny dipping and drinking beers, eating tea outdoors and watching the sunsets, playing with friends for hours and my favourite.. camping. I miss the good old days where all of my family would camp for weeks on end. I'd play cricket with all my cousins and swim for hours and hours, only to retire when I was utterly exhausted and starved! I'd eat around 5 sausages and sleep! Only to be awake at the crack of dawn to do it all again the next day. Nothing in the world will ever replace these memories.
Anyhow, beer awaits.. so until next time remember
-- You can't go back in time, but you can do your best to recapture the kid you once were and always seize every opportunity while you have it, because you never know when you'll get another chance to enjoy pure bliss.
