Childhood Dreams

there are times when I feel so lonely especially when I miss my childhood friends. sometimes, I would find teardrops in my eyes because I realized that I did not really enjoy my childhood days because we always had to transfer from one place to another. Sometimes, i would ask myself if I really enjoy and live my life to the fullest or If I really am living or just existing. They say Living is different from Existing. i don't know, maybe i'm just so jaded of being alone all the time.

I think that you should allow yourself to be with people most of the time so you won't be feeling lonely. Have someone to talk to ans share whatever that you want to that person. You'll be surprised on how much you'll get to know yourself better.

We are humans are social animals. We won't be able to survive without people around us. When wee are happy we need someone to share it with, otherwise it feels incomplete. Same happens when we are sad. We feel lighter when we share. Social networking sites are a perfect example. We need people around us to make our lives complete.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't really enjoy your childhood. Having to move around a lot may have been the reason for that. Children need stability and having to move around doesn't really contribute to that stability. When you're alone, you will find yourself questioning the meaning of life. I would suggest that during this time, you should count your blessings. What you have instead of what you don't have and then you will realize that life is meaningful and that you're not just existing. Think about all the people around you that love you and that need you and you'll know that you're an important person. You may be alone but you don't need to be lonely.

So, do you want to catch up with your childhood friends, or you simply regret that you move from place to place, and never enjoy a settlement and have company like your favorite friends all around you? I don't have much happy images about my childhood either, but I knew that is life, and I have to face the reality. Even now, I don't have much friends existed in my living cycle. Not all of them are sincere and honest. So, sometimes, it is better being alone.

Oh yes that's different having childhood plays. and when you go home all sweaty and dusty face that marked on your face. When you go home with bruises just anywhere.. *eww such a gross legs I have now. LOL)... I enjoyed my childhood. I have done almost everything in the world. I baked cake using mud. I cooked rice, using grass and also cook my first meal using grass and leaves. It was nice having that. Until now I have a scar on my forefinger from blisters on flying kites. We go up in the mountain and bring home wild grass, telling my mother, to cook this, only to find out that is poisonous. LOL. yes, it is different when you have learned all this things outside the house. and with the childhood friends.

Yes mate ,I feel you. Even i have such thoughts at times but you need to understand that is life , you need to move on. Try spending as much of your time with your loved ones and not alone. Honestly , you must have heard this a lot but pick up a hobby , I am sure you will meet new people there. A harsh truth , people get replaced by other people and mate you got to do that or else this loneliness will eat you up.

Everyone had the thought of being jaded and lonely. Even i did too especially in my childhood. I had few friends and no sane classmates of mine don't actually talk to me. They treat me nice sometimes and most of the time they ignore me. The only way i could interact with them is if i will be the one to strike up a conversation. No classmate of mine invited me in their birthdays except my classmates that are very kind and of course my best friend. When i was a child, I excrete my loneliness in front of computers and interact more with people in the cyber world as i could be myself that i can't hear people judging me. Anyway, childhood is the past and it is time for us to learn to move on. Let us accomplish those childhood dreams we have dreamt as a kid and make them a reality. Have a great day!
