When I was younger, I used to put my arms in my shirt and tell people I lost my arms. Would restart the video game when I knew I was going to lose. Slept with all the stuffed animals as a child so none of them would feel offended. I had that one pen with 4 colors, and tried to push all the buttons at once. The hardest decision was which nintendo game to play. Waiting behind a door to scare someone, then leaving because they are taking too long to leave or I had to use the restroom. Faked being asleep, so I could get carried to bed. Used to think the moon followed my car. Watching two drops of rain roll down my window and pretend it was a race. Went on the computer just to use paint. The only thing I had to take care of is a baby doll. The only "fake" friends I had were invisible ones. I used to sing in the shower. (Now? I make life decisions in there). Swallowed a fruit seed, and I was scared to death a tree was going to grow in my stomach. Getting a bruised knee heals easier than a broken heart. Remember when I was a kid and couldn't wait to grow up. What the heck was I thinking?

I honestly miss being a kid. I miss birthday parties in class with cupcakes and a spelling test with the extra credit word would be "Happiness". I miss being able to run around playing freeze tag all day without getting tired then putting my head on a pillow at night and knocking right out with no worries or cares. I miss eating however much I wanted without a thought, and curling up on the couch with a good book and not getting up till it was done. I miss running home to watch power rangers and Scooby-Doo and waking up on Saturdays for cartoons. I miss not being stressed, when everything was pure and simple. But what I miss most of all, was the time that seemed to never run out.

And when you grow up you lose people. You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news, they live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up and you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly, that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.

I want you to realize to be more thankful for what you have now, because when you grow up its no longer there. You can't go back and redo stuff, you can only move forward and learn from your previous mistakes. You will probably never stop miss being a kid, but in our hearts we will always be kids. No matter the age we are always kids in our hearts. Try to keep some of your childhood things, even if it is just little things.

Yes, we will lose things alone the way. I lost my twin brother in July 2016 due to cancer. And there is not a day that goes by that I don't think or miss him. Although, I will always have this wound in my heart for him, won't be as strong as life moves on. There are times I go to the phone to call him to see what he is up to and then I go oh no, That number doesn't work anymore. So, just like me you will lose people you love and it doesn't get better, it gets more manageable. And maybe I am just as broken as I was when I lost him, its just that I have gotten stronger.

So Appreciate where you are right now, because you won't get this time in your life back!

I just want to thank all the people i'm tagging down below for being my friend and I know i will always be able to go for them when I need help!
