Memories...

[harhar]

I remember, from the age of 5, till about the age of 10, were the best years of my life.

I used to have the best times with my cousins down in Leicester and London. We used to play on the ps1, go outside and have a game of footie/cricket etc, listen to some tunes, but most fun of all: just sit back, relax and chat.

I used to love it, we all had such a good time, and i coldn't wait for the next time we were going down to meet up with my cousins.

I was listening to some songs today and they brought back old memories.

Thinking back on it now, i feel a bit stupid. At the mere age of 17 i am thinking about back in the day. But its not that thats making me feel this way. It's the fact that im still a teenager and im thinking "Ahhhhhhhh, those were the days". I shouldn't be doing this, thats what you should be doing when your 70 years old with a blanket wrapped around you as you rock back and forth in your chair.

I'm in the prime of life, but i'm wishing that i could go back in time just to re-live those years, thats not what i want. I'll never forget those years, but i should be living in the present, not the past.

I want to re-create those years, years which i look back on think about all the amazing times i've had and new experiences i shared with close friends.

I just don't know how to do this, i have an allright social life i suppose, i could think of people which have had worse. Even though its allright, thats isnt what i want. I want greatness, amazing memories.

I just dont know how to get into different groups, experience different things.

Not everyone will agree with me but I think being a child and enjoying that childhood are the best years of your life. The only games you played were tag and baseball. No drama and mind games. When something made you mad it is because some kid stole your juice box :trouble:

you have only a few years of your life to be a kid/teenager and the rest of your life to grow up and be an adult

True but you aren't thinking it all the way through. Childhood is full of fear and when you are an adult you have complete freedom. There's no reason we should be looking back with longing when we have so much to look forward to!

How would i go about creating new memories and experiences though?

I look on people myspaces and stuff and see loadsa pictures of them at parties and out with thier mates having really good times.

This is what i want, but i dont know how to do this, going to parties, meeting new people, making new friends.

You have to be outgoing and social.
Talk to people, be-friend them.
Call them to hangout or come to a party and they will return the favour.
Be funny, confident, happy, outgoing and you'll have huge social circles.


Also, you shouldn't be looking at the past, because the present is passing you by while you do. Enjoy the present now to its fullest potential.

It makes me sad sometimes when I think about this kind of stuff...
Live a life of no regrets, live it to the fullest, and when your old and weak.
You'll think "I'm quite satisfied with what I did with my life."
instead of
"Oh I should've asked that girl out back in HS or I should've studied harder to get that job"



I don't want to grow up I want to stay young and care free!
but oh well...I'm living it to the fullest right now!
