Something I miss

When someone asks you a question,” What do you miss?” What do you think of? A person, a place, a thing. If you ask me I miss the time. The time when everything was so simple and life was just beautiful with no problems and no worries. I miss the time in my life where I could say ‘Hakuna Matata. In that time you didn’t have to worry about anything, the time when everyone got along, there were no ‘cliques’ no body image, no grades were important. The biggest decision was probably, ‘Did I pick the correct crayon?’ take me back to those times. I miss those the most.

If you ask a kid what they want to be, every single answer will be I want to be an adult and have my own home! They think ahead about how they are going to move out and live their life and have a happy family. Everyone always so caught up in the future and they are going to live their life ahead that they forget how to live life now. Remember life in second grade when you didn’t have a big life problem and you would just chill with your friends and no drama nothing. Things are so complicated now- exams, assignments, careers, grades, and growing up, body image, mental breakdowns and so much more. Times now are so difficult to just cope with (if you ever need someone to talk to, all you have to do is fill out a form and I will reply to you as soon as I can. Remember you are not alone). If you think about back to second grade and compare it now, I can’t help but notice how much I have grown over the years. I’ve noticed more positive compared to negative change. I’m constantly working on myself, trying to improve for the better. I just strive to put out positive energy in this universe.

Our life now is to grow up, study, write an exam, forget all of it, and do it all over again. It’s a never-ending process of stress and things you will probably never look back on. I don’t remember anything after writing an exam. Honestly, it is just like I’m vomiting everything I learned on paper, I literally forget the entire thing later. I honestly miss having absolutely no work at all and just going with the flow, wondering what every day will bring. I guess all good things must come to an end. One thing I learned is growing up means being honest about what you want. At one point you will have to go out there on your own and take on this world. I just wish school would prepare us more for that rather than random topics we will never need. I truly believe that every single person has to go through something that absolutely destroys them to find out who they truly are. Life is the journey you use to find yourself.

I just miss when you didn’t have to be so conscious about everything and you could take everything easily just live the days as they came. Be yourself and people would like you for you, nowadays people turn into someone they are not and it’s just sad. Remember that you have to be something in life, successful and independent, and use your life. Make it the best one you have ever lived. Work for it and you will surely succeed. Everyone has the capability in them, they just don’t know and the ones who succeed know they do.
