I remember when I was young, I used to imagine me being older. I kept thinking to myself what I will be when I grow up. And now that I have grown older I wanted to go back in time and think I would be younger. Silly thoughts but this is true! How about you do you do the same?

True! When i was young i wanted to grow old faster to have my own family, have my stable job and work hard for my family. I wanted to grow old faster so i can leave on my own and make mu own decision. And yet now how i wish i could be a kid again, just playing around, don't have to think about financial problem, we drink milk, sleep , play , drink milk, play and sleep. Now i look at kids i feel happy looking at them no problem.. so innocent.

I agree with you, sometimes I want to go back in time but most of the time I want to go back in time...hahaha funny but true. I want to be a kid again, specially that during my time we dont even have wii and playstation..and no facebook games...hahaha but i also enjoyed life when the only fun thing to do was climb a tree coz you were chased by the neighbors dogs! :)

Hahaha, yes gerlieann I had the same, I had a nanny before that puts me to sleep after lunch and threatens to spank me if I dont sleep. I usually pretend to sleep and try to trick my nanny so that she would assume im sleeping and then I can play. But usually end up sleeping and wake up 2 hours after...ahahaha its really funny when I think of it now. :)

Yeah! Those times when we play the traditional games. I cant forget when i was a kid during noontime when it is time for us to sleep when my mother promise that i can play outside after i take a nap i always pretended to be asleep for 30minutes and after that i woke up and as my mother if i can play outside and since she made a promise she had no choice. Those were the days!

Somewhat same is the case with me. I always thought of doing all sorts of things when I will be this much old, but now when I am really that old, I have no urge of doing same works as I used to plan. Infact I feel pity for me as I wasted my those years just thinking of what I will be doing. I should have left it on time to decide. All I think is you should enjoy the time you live in, without worrying much about what happened in past or what will happen in future.

Yes it is fine. The things happened from the past brings us to what and who we are. Let us be thankful also for what happened from the past and let us enjoy the present! have fun!

It is normal Jenyenh. We give space to emotions in our life. We experience and keep some memories as happy and some as bad ones. by me saying that we should not worry about past, I mean that we should not too much. We should keep memories but try not let them hinder our present. We are humans, if we would do everything the right way we will not be called so. So there are some things we can't help.

Once everybody had such thoughts when we were younger,but as gradually grow older and i found that it's really not cool being a grown up.So i always hope that i can go back that time and had such enjoyable time with my little friend.Thank you for bring me back to my childhood.I'm thinking how i love those moments.

Yes jricky1, i think most of us have same thoughts about growing old when we were young. But now reality speaks and we want to go back in time. Me too i have such great memories that its great just thinking about the good old days! :) thank you for sharing.
