Summer Vacations- nobody told me they would end
Only being responsible for myself financially
The freedom of the wind in my hair, sun on my face and taking my bicycle anywhere I wanted just so long as I was home by dinnertime.
freedom. The world seem bigger. But most I missed being fearless. As a kid I would try almost anything. Now I am smarter and think twice before I put my head down to tackle that guy playing football. LOL
. The knowledge that there’d always be someone caring at home when I needed it (and when I didn’t)
. The ability to spend days on end playing pretend without reality butting in and spoiling my fantasy.
. The magic fridge that always refilled itself!
I miss this vague feeling that the world contained magic. I miss having others tending to my happiness. I miss feeling certain about what I should be doing.
Adulthood has its charms too, though I did recently have a feeling of sadness that those easy comfortable years are sliding farther and farther into the past.
I miss the fact that there was never had anything to worry about life was one big playground. Now a days you worry about bills and where your next paycheck is coming from or do you have enough money to get through the week etc. I also do agree that adulthood doses have its charms and its not all that bad. :)
Going to all day marathons of Laurel and Hardy with my dad at the theatre in Del Mar and hearing him laugh
Body surfing on a styrofoam belly board at Torrey Pines beach when practically no one else knew about it
My Great Aunt Hortense and her wonderful stories about the family
1. Not being able to curl up with a good book without feeling guilty because “I have other things to do”
2. Being able to eat what I want and not put on any weight, because a) I have the energy to run around and b) my body absorbs that sort of stuff better!
3. Being able to climb trees, play in puddles and be fascinated by minibeasts for hours!!!
