It's amazing how much time fly’s by. Don't we all
hear this saying all the time? Well I do, whenever I'm sitting alone somewhere
and all of a sudden start to think that I have been sitting in that same spot
for what feels just like two minutes but really it has been an hour. I have
encountered this experience numerous times, and I still hear family members,
friends, and sometimes complete strangers that I have never met before telling
me that time is ticking. Throughout my seventeen years of my life I would think
that I knew everything and that I didn't need help because I thought I had
everything under control. Truth was, I needed more help than I expected. Times
when I was around the age of seven I would always bug mom and dad about money,
asking them if I could go and buy this and that, having no clue on how hard
they've been working for the money they've earned of course it makes me wish
time machines were already invented because what I know has got me wishing
that I would not have had asked for so much from either one of my
parents.
Truth is if every little
child is taught to take full responsibility of his/her self then he/she will
never know what it is like to have fun and enjoy ones self. I see my little
five year old sister playing and smiling all the time, she is what makes my
family laugh during those gloomy days. Then again I sometimes get very annoyed
with my sister but I’m proud to say that I still love her even though we bicker
at one another just about everyday over little stuff. I would not want my
little sister to be having so much stress put on her miniature sized shoulder,
if that happened then there will be no more laughing and giggling around my
home. All the thoughts going through my head about college, graduations, and
scholarships has enough stress put on me as it is. I clearly understand why
little kids live a worry free life when they are young and as time keeps on
ticking eventually they will understand that they are soon to come face to face
with the decisions that I am enduring at this very exact moment in my life. So
I say enjoy the little one in your life it is already there job to make fun
moments for you, do not let them slip on by because that clock is still
ticking.
I completey understand what you are saying Shabby. Most of the time I want to kill my little brothers. Just to give a quick example, I once threw a plastic toy at my brother Cade who is currently 6. It was one of those moments when I regretted what I had done before the toy even hit him in the face. He was completely fine for a few minutes. Then my mom walked into the room. The instant he saw her, he suddenly burst into a sob and tears streamed down his face. This only enraged me and I ended up hurting him out of that anger and was grounded for a few days. (Please don't report me for child abuse. He still loves me.)
ReplyDeleteAs he and I have matured, I wish that I could go and take back what I did. I admire your love for your family and I will try to take your advice to heart.
Shab, i feel you on the stress that this year has brought! It sure has been a good one so far though. We all miss those worry-free moments we experienced when we were lit'l children and time has flown by. Of course Baby Girl puts a smile on all our faces and it is a great thing that we have our siblings or other younger kids to remind us of the good times and laughter. Oh the things little kids do sometimes! They don't only put a smile on our faces and provide us with a great laugh but they also remind us that we were just as silly and helpless when we were their age. Wonderful start on your blog girl!
ReplyDeleteShabby, I couldn't agree more! life seems to make us all wonder because we all wake up and seem to just think of it as just another day in life. Little do we realize that life moves faster then we could ever believe. All of the seniors would most likely agree it comes faster then we would of thought. Even though we seem to be having to make these choices i want you to know this... keep your head up even in the worst of times because you will make it far if you push your self.! :)
