gosh...almost a week since my last blog !!
Today, I was woken by the loud noise of the garbage truck. Groggy, I managed to switch on some music on my laptop and get myself a warm cuppa coffee. Listening to Michael Learns to Rock, I wished I was a kid again. I know you must be wondering what MLTR has to do with childhood...but it holds a special place in my heart. Since I am the youngest of the three siblings, I was often at the receiving end of my sister's music collection, which included songs like Can't touch this, Ice Ice Baby, Someday, Paint my love, Nothings gonna change my love for you, I'll be missing you, Last Christmas, Wake me up before you GO GO (this still makes me laugh!!), Father figure, Saturday Night and oh I could go on.
So instead of being a Disney baby, I was more a MTV (wild) child. Back in the days I didn't have a care in the world. Maths was the only thing that bothered me and besides that life was a smooth sail.
Children have it so easy. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to grow up so that people could take me seriously. Well not much has changed since then, I still want people to take me seriously with the exception that now I want to be a kid again. As a child, my parents would always tell me how I have it easy, and I would retort by saying that I want to be an adult so that people understand me. I wish I could go back in my past and tell Mini Me, that I don't have to look forward to becoming an adult because people would still not take me seriously!
I have no regrets, I really don't. I have done loads of things which I know I shouldn't...but hey what would life be without a little excitement? And you do learn from your mistakes. I have had quite a roller coaster of a life so far, and yes, people still treat me like a child and I am still not understood. Added to the miseries is that noone takes me seriously ! Ahhh...the turmoils of an adult life, which a child is prevented from.
If I could, I would go back in the past, just to have a satisfied year full of smiles and no worries. If I could, I would go back in the past, and tell Mini Me, she has the best the world could offer. If I could, I would go back in the past, and enjoy a long breath of carefree being. If I could I would go back in the past, and believe in the words uttered by my parents, "You have it easy because you are still young, make the most of it."
