Childhood memories

Looking out the window, I see a child who is unaware of the adult responsibilities there will be. The safest place I would think about back then is home. I missed my childhood and if I can turn back time, I don't think I would knowingly have done anything better for my future.

I would never forget the time when I explored the garden and curiousity about bougainvillea led me to rashes over my wrists and elbows. Or perhaps when my brother cleans the tortoise cage, one of them tried to run away and I had to scream to my brother to catch it because I was too afraid to do so.

My brother would never let me forget this one because he keeps on teasing me about it. He would tell me how credit cards work which is... You can buy anything with a credit card. Then, my eyes would light up and a sparkle can be seen. Well, that's according to him. I don't remember being in that state of delightness.

I even thought that one day, I would be a fashion designer and if not, an artist. I would draw designs of clothes on exercise books. I remember having three books but they went missing one day. I knew that I tried making ballet shoes out of paper. I did not know then that it would not exactly last but the drive to do things despite what the adults told me, I wish I still had a bit of them in me.

I'm still considering if I should take part in cheerleading. I would really love to but my parents do not approve it this time. *sigh*
