One of my favorite times in life was when I was around six or seven and there were no problems in life, everything was great. I was able to go to school and finger paint, have recess and just have fun with my friends. There was no useless high school shit like who said what about someone, who hates who for no reason, etc. That kind of stuff annoys the hell out of me, especially when I hear people obsessing about it. In elementary school everyone was fine with everyone, all of life’s worries and problems were non-existent. I was happy to go to school, and I was even happier to come home when mostly all my friends were my neighbors. The three of them came over almost every day, and every day we found something to do. When you’re in 2nd grade, you can find ways to entertain yourself with no problem.
There was one thing my friends and I always loved to do, and that was play Nintendo 64. At that time, the Nintendo 64 was the newest console and we thought the games were amazing. There was Legend of Zelda, Golden Eye, Mario Kart, Banjo Kazooie and a bunch of other games we played constantly. Even now I love playing these old games because they’re so nostalgic and remind me of great times.
I don’t really have one specific favorite memory that I hold on to, it’s just that general time period. I was actually happy in school, I had fun almost every day after school and on weekends and my parents were still together and were still happy with their marriage (They divorced while I was in the 5th grade). Those three kids I hung around with were my closest friends, and they still are my friends today even though one has moved to Illinois and another goes to a different school. It’s funny how different life is as a little kid.
Yeah that is totally true, when your little everything is way better and so easy going. I also had friends that were my neighbors too, but they all moved away and I really miss them. We would also play video games together too. I miss being a little kid, I didnt have to worry about anything.
ReplyDeleteI miss the middle school years too. It would be so much easier if everyone could just get along like they use to. It also sucks how we loose friends cause one of us moves, or goes to a different school. I moved when I was in 6th grade and don't even talk to my best friend that lived right next door. Sometimes growing up just sucks. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree. It was so great in elementary school, not having to worry about all the gossip and rumors and everything. There really is no reason for people to spread all these rumors. Those were some good times.
ReplyDeleteYea i agree with McQueenKingOfCool too being a kid is soo funn. i miss being we all mis being kids. Because we had our happy little world. And i liked when you said "Those three kids I hung around with were my closest friends, and they still are my friends today". I like this because I don't even talk to my childhood friends and its really sad because we had a great time and im happy for you that you are still frinds with them even though one of them live in a different state.
ReplyDeleteBeing a kid is way easier. But it's just as bad in some ways. When I was little I was constantly beat on by my two older brothers. And I couldn't win anything. Everybody was better than me at everything. Also I disliked the bedtimes and timeouts and not being able to stay home alone. So I think being a kid is great but not as good as now.
ReplyDeleteYour tone is very Holden Caulfield-esque. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI loved being a kid also. I miss middle school so much, but it was also go to grow up, because you have more freedom now. But it does suck moving on and meeting new people, becuase sometimes you don't want to let go of the old ones.
