Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Dreams of childhood

From the left to the right: my father, my mother, me and my grandma on christmas eve (1986 I think)

Some time ago I found these posts https://wp.me/p6FALh-2jO

I did read those and I got the idea of my own version of this topic. I had actually one short draftpost touching this topic (without name). Now it’s time to make this post complete…

I am dreaming of getting back in time when I didn’t have to think anything else than just like what to play next or how to get homework done, the beautifull, pure childhood time. Even the time when I grew up a little bit to a teen and my biggest issue was how to find a boyfriend, was still great too. Those times when specially my closest familymembers: father and grandma (who were also aImost living with us before hospitalized and with whom I had so fun together), was alive. Both godfathers and godmother was alive, (if I’ll go further to my childhood even grandpa was alive but I don’t remember him so well. He was hospitalized when I was about six years old. I’ve heard that I’m a lot like my grandfather. Philosophying and analyzing everything like him. I wish I could have known him better.)

Me and my new hat on summer 1986(?)

I’m dreaming of getting a time machine and spending one week with those close ones, be innocent, care free child once more. If only I could be and enjoy every moment, be present without worrying the past or the future. Immerse myself in inspiring plays. Jump on a skipping rope on the yard. Dancing ballet with my best friend putting my soul into it. Go to play ground with my grandma. Go once again to summer camp or weekend camp. Spend a truly joyfull christmas with the excitement of presents.

If only I could really feel alive and run free bare foot in the wind, feeling grass under my soles or dancing with the raindrops, and laugh, laugh so hard that my stomach aches. I think I lost that ability years a go, like many of us in middle age I guess, too many…What happened to us after those happy days? Life happened. Too much losses, too much responsibilities, too much worrying, too much everything…

That one happy week back in childhood, that’s what I dream of…but too bad, I can’t make that dream come true…

  1. It’s a nice dream but memories are good too. We can always remember the good parts & forget the not so good. Sometimes I still have dreams-nightmares where I wake up in panic because I forgot my homework. I check the clock and remember ”Thank God! I don’t go to school anymore!”

    Thanks for sharing your dreams and I’m glad I gave you an excuse to finish your post 🙂

    • You mean that memories grow sweeter with time. It’s partly true. Everything wasn’t surely always so nice as it feels now but mostly it was. Children have that special ability to forget the negative things faster. The playworld is surely helping a lot with that!

    • It absolutely was TOO good! I’m waiting here when do they make a time machine! 😄 I’ve actually read it’s theoretically possible and that you could go to past as a side watcher! So you see yourselves there and you could see all your deceased loved ones! It’s like you watch movie but surely more lively!
