I've thought about doing youtube, but I don't know if I like that idea-- I don't know if I just need a place to vent or what. I'm not looking for views, I'm not looking for new friends. I think I do just need/want a place to come and record my life. Not to be snobby because I've got a crazy elaborate life or anything, but a place so that when I'm old and gone, hopefully my son and maybe grandchildren can look back on my life and hopefully get to know what kind of person I was.
I think I'll start here. I had a pretty descent childhood, although I'm dealing with stuff that I didn't even realize was there until recently. I'm thankful I had a childhood before the internet and screens constantly in your face. I'm thankful for playing barefoot in the grass and doing simple things with my friends, like sitting for hours under my neighbors tree playing with Barbies.
We played school, we played sports, we played cheerleading. We rode our bikes and pretended to get our "drivers" license. We listened to music and made up dances to them. We played outside all the time.
Being an only child for the first 12 years of my life, I had my fair share of being by myself, but with the imagination I had-- I never got bored. I always had some kind of thing going on in my room. I played in my room when I was by myself. Being outside wasn't as fun by yourself. (although I did that too sometimes) I climbed in the dog house. My dog just kinda looked at me funny. I stood with my arms spread on a windy day just knowing I could control the wind. I tried to fall off a swing to break my arm because I thought casts looked cool.
I was goofy. It was the 70's and it was a perfect match for being a kid.
I'd have it no other way.
Until next time.
