jeux: on childhood

there is always a time that you will always remember the games that you played when you were still young. they always remind you of the good times and the good games you played. nostalgic. especially when playing games occupied a huge part of your childhood memories. i think it is one of the things people will never forget.

i have to admit, i am a bit childish, and i think i am still a kid even though i am already on my twenties. i still have toys, and i still buy new ones, but i am not playing with them anymore. moreover, i still sleep with my stuffed toys. i still watch kiddie shows like "The Backyardigans." in addition, i still go to the playground and ride the swing. aside from that, i still feel happy when i play the games i loved when i was a kid. furthermore, i want to have a children's party on my next birthday. well, yeah. i guess i am a kid at heart. maybe, i have thought subconsciously that i will miss being a kid, so i have decided to remind myself that i could be like a kid.

just this week, i went to the playground to take some pictures. it was like the first time i went out of the house. the sun actually glared at me for a bit. i brought some of my toys, too. i used them as my subjects. as i was taking pictures on the slide, i was not able to stop myself from lying down the slide. when i lied down, it felt really good that i closed my eyes as the wind breezed softly. then, i stared at the trees and the sky for a while. at that moment, it reminded me of my childhood. i remember myself playing on that playground. i was running and giddy. i did not care what will happen next. i was just happy with what was happening at that time. i want to feel that way again. i want to be happy and not think of what will happen next. i want to be carefree. i just want run around and tire myself to sleep.

i guess i should visit the playground more often to remind myself of my childhood and to feel free every once in a while. :)

hanggang sa muli, masugid na mambabasa. :)
