Memories

"Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows"~JB


A child is naive to the world, innocent and fresh. Before long they will discover truths and reality, growing into old men and women. When most think back on their childhood years they do not remember much, but they can still remember the perspective they had when looking at certain things. I miss not knowing everyone's flaws, not having to see things for what they really are, and when my parents told me not to worry about something I would listen and go back to whatever it was I was doing without a second thought. I can remember thinking of mom and dad as superheroes; nothing was bad about them and they knew everything. I miss when my greatest worry was what color crayon I would use next for my not so perfect drawing, or what else I could use to hold up my blanket forts. Life flashes by at you in the blink of an eye and before you know it your grown up; you no longer obtain your innocence and you can no longer be that small naive child you once were. Reality is a huge blow, learning that the things and people you thought were perfect, are in fact, not. You learn of deceit and worry and you go through hardships. By facing these problems it opens your eyes to what the world truly is, and that vision is different for all of us. Your view of the world changes as your day does, each day learning something new, whether it being good or bad. I love the age I am now but I can still think back and miss fondly the way the world once seemed to me.
