I have not been myself lately. Sometimes thinking about all the bills to pay, running a household, keeping up with everything going on at school with the kids, and all the other responsibilities that I have can be overwhelming.
When I am troubled, I would always find myself going back and thinking about how life was for me when I was a kid. It brings back happy memories of my childhood. I did not have to worry about anything because as a kid, I always knew that my parents were there to take care of me. We were not rich, but my parents made sure I had everything I needed and even more, I feel blessed because growing up, we were well provided for
That exact same thought would give me the courage to pull myself together because I am now a parent myself, with two kids depending on me. I owe it to my children to make sure they would also have a happy childhood to look back to.
I may run into rough spots and trials now, but I would always think that despite everything I am still blessed. Memories of my happy childhood would always bring me comfort and teaches me to live each day as it comes.
Those were the times, in where we all silently wished to go back. Life was easy then, no worries, deadlines, and responsiblities. But, giving back what we had then was our main purpose now.. (totally agree!)
ReplyDeleteI also agree. Sometimes I feel the need to have a break from everything and I always remember my childhood..
