Reminiscing

Today (more like 2 minutes ago) I realized that I've had the same bed for 7 years.
This also prompted other thoughts.

I didn't do my first homework assignment(not so surprising now...)and so I hid it in the corner behind my nightstand.

I used to force my mom to play this little pokemon game with me.

Epic Bionicle Battles.

The Biggest Drama was someone cheating in Beyblade.

YU-GI-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merrimack, New Hampshire...

Suicide Hill (sledding)

But as much as I miss nap time, I wouldn't go back. High School sucks, I'd rather look to the passed. I love looking to the future, and as fancy and beyblades were, I'd rather see what comes next than what already is. The same goes with friendships. Sure I'd love to hang out with some of my old friends, but the new ones are...well...better. Some of you guys I've known since 3rd grade, some came into my life in middle school, some more in high school. These are bonds I might not live without. Anna Maria and Adam were cool, but their no Mary Kate and Joey, or Karah, Kenneth, Abby...the list goes on (I just realized that both Anna Maria and Mary Kate have two first names). But if, by some freak accident, my old life and my new one could combine, I'd take the chance in a heart beat. I think everyone would. As John Mayer says

well these days
I wish I was 6 again
Oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman

I remember playing games, pretending to be Goku, or whoever the action hero of the moment was. I think pretty much everyone does, and everyone wishes they could still pull it off without looking like an idiot.

And I'm only 15. 3rd grade was 7 years ago. That's child play compared to some people. Many people can reminisce back to before I was born. Those are the days I'm excited for. The day when I can tell my grandchildren about writing this. The days when I'm ready for anything, when I don't have to check with my mom before I do anything, the days when I don't have to scramble for a ride to go to the mall. The days when I can look back at my life and say, completely seriously, "Game Over. You Win." Those are the days I look forward to.
