memories

So with the school year at its end and work hitting a plateau I find myself thinking a lot. Not of things to do or papers I wish I could have dont better on, but of the past. Every once in a while a memory jumps into my mind. Some make me smile other make me wonder.. and of course there are quite a few that make me cringe. I thought that I would share a few that have been haunting my mind and see if getting them out in the open would make them disappear.

I remember walking down the street to see my best friend crying my eyes out after I got a terrible haircut I think I was about 15. I walked in to her house and all she could do was laugh, which made me laugh. Then she told me I was beautiful no matter what. I miss her.

The Halloween my rat died and my little bro blurted it out over the phone while I was still at a friends house.

The first time I got to walk the hallways of my school holding hands with a guy I truly liked and how special I felt.

The day I got my picture taken with my brand new bike. I was on a neighbors driveway and she was so proud because I bought it myself.

The day I left for New York to go on this crazy adventure. I remember the excitement of leaving my parents and walking down the gate and realizing how self sufficient I had to be from that point on because they where not there.

The morning my lil bro was taken to the hospital when he was just a year old. I remember the phone call and I remember crying like mad. How could one person love someone so much I kept thinking. Then I realized it didnt matter.

The day I drew on the wall close to the stairs and lied about it. Then tried to cover it up with yellow crayon and a piece of paper towel. Needless to say I go caught.

The first time someone told me I was beautiful and smart and fun and didnt want anything in return.

Its amazing what happens to your mind when you have time to think. I believe that everyone should take a bit more time to just remember the good and bad and the lessons that came with it.
