So from the pictures you can see what I did this morning really. Not exactly what you would call interesting, but then again it's not really that boring. I just felt like taking some snaps around the house and here was my excuse to do so.
It's Saturday and usually I would be doing something on a day like this, the sun is out, the birds are singing and not a cloud to be seen. But for some reason I have chosen to sit indoors and write this blog. Mainly because I have nothing to do until later when my grandparents are over. I'm sure that will be somewhat amusing...
As I lay here on my bed writing this I am thinking of one of two things. 1)Why on Earth am I up so early, it is only 10:46am and this could be valuable sleeping time and 2) It's so hot in this bedroom. However I have opened two of four of my windows but the breeze is simply not invading my room, hmph. Although, it is a good thing that the weather is warming up as lately we have been having a bit of wet patch but then again this is England so we have to expect it. So the summer is sun is a nice surprise to us all and I hope that you are all making the best of it :)
Another thought of my mind today is childhood. I always loved being a child and I'm sure most of you will agree with me here. There's something amazing and carefree about being small. You have no worries whatsoever. I sometimes wish that I was a child again, six years old would be good. I want to once again think that candy is better than money, because you can eat candy, money seems somewhat useless to us. I want to go to McDonalds and still believe it is a 5 star restaurant and not care what everybody thinks of me when I have tomato ketchup smeared round my face, I like it that way! I want to go outside without worrying how my hair looks like and what people will think of me. I want to distance myself from the complexities of life, and once again become excited over the small things. I want to ride my bike all the way to the park, without worrying that I will get kidnapped. I want to believe in the power of laughter, of a hug, a handshake, of a kind word, of truth, justice or peace. I want once again to believe in the human race. I wish that each one of us could live a part of that child we all have inside and do not let ourselves be dragged down by the society which surrounds us. If we all thought and acted a little like children, don't you think a lot of things in the world would be different, a lot easier wouldn't you say?
Some of you would say that you would not want to be placed back into the shoes of a young child because of various reasons. Maybe it's because you Never again want the responsibility of an eight-year-old -- the constant struggle to concentrate on my schoolwork. Never again must you live in terror of having to tell the teacher that my homework is not finished and inevitably face a detention. Or maybe you hated the fears you had back then such as animals, the dark, the innards of machines, slides and swings, balls coming toward me, skating, and especially, people I did not know. But to be honest with you, around three of those things on that list still frightens me.
I guess you never truly grow up and I wouldn't ever want too. But then again contemplating the above I don't know whether I really would like to go back to being six. I like things the way they are now. They are perfect and I wouldn't want them to go any other way. Maybe you feel the same, or maybe you don't but I hope you have listened to what I have had to say.
Until next time.
