When I Was Little

When I was little, I had a huge imagination. Now I cannot even make up a nonfiction story about my life for Literature class. I could tell you many stories about my childhood, I think it would be very entertaining, but I will only write a few. When I was little I used to think that the moon was following my car. I used to fall asleep anywhere and wake up in bed. I used to pretend I was asleep in the car just so I could get carried inside. I used to think my heart was actually heart shaped. I used to make "potions" when I took baths. I used to slide back and forth in the bath to make waves. I used to put my face close to the fan to hear my robot voice. I used to close the fridge door really slowly just to see when the light went out. I was always trying to turn my head completely around like an owl. I use to sing "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, ELEMENO, P." So on and so forth my life has been full of adventures and funny moments.

I remember one time when my sisters and I used to throw rocks into the air to see how high they could go. It was fun until one hit me and knocked me out. I became strong and I hold my tears, but deep inside I wanted to cry an entire sea. I did not know how to explain to my mom the big bruise on my face. I knew my mom was going to scold me for playing with rocks. I try to use makeup to hide the bruise. It did not work. This was a time to say the truth and suffer the consequences. I entered my home as quietly as possible, maybe my mom would not realize I was there. Then my mom came out of my room! I was so nervous that I began to cry. When my mom saw me crying, she immediately went to pamper me. I said in my mind "I did it; my mom is not going to scold me.'' The days passed and my mom never found out that we played with rocks. I hope she do not read this blog.

I remember when the scariest thing ever when I was little was to hear the words "I am telling mom!" When really there are things more worrying than that. I actually thought the past was in black and white. I slept with all my teddy bears because I thought the other ones felt left out. It is amazing how fast things pass. I feel like it was yesterday when I used to sing in the shower. Now? I make life decisions in there. It is funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different. The only thing that has never change is that ever since I was a little girl, when I am really upset and cry I always say ''Mum''. She is the only one who understands me and helps me when I do not feel good. My mom is like my best friend.

I wish I was little again, when the hardest choice was picking up a crayon. I miss the friends I made when I was little, the worries I did not have and the ''I am just a kid'' feeling. Life was ''don’t worry, be happy''. If you ran up the slide, you were cool. No one cared of how you dressed, talked, ate, or whom was your friend. Things have changed a lot. When I was little, all the problems were solved with a simple cry. I was hungry, I cried and got food. I felt alone, I cried and got company. I was sleepy, I cried and got sleep. Everything was so easy. Now, it is not that way. I am not sad to have grown up, but I just miss those beautiful moments. Life is a matter of perspective. It all depends on how you look at it.

Ok, I will admit it, when I was little I tried checking out if I had superpowers.
