Day 8: Tell about your childhood self
Today, we're going to reminisce about our childhood. Some memories have faded over time. But let's try to remember those memories again.
I'll tell you about myself again. I'm the youngest child and I have an older sister who is 6 years older than me. I should have had an older brother who was 3 years older, but he was born stillborn. Now, this is something that's maybe a little funny.
If you look at the order of birth, I'm the third child. But if you look at the number of living siblings, I'm the second child. My sister is very smart and always gets first place in school. While I can only get second or third place, the reason I give is because I'm the second or third child. Hehehe, even though it has nothing to do with it at all.
Another uniqueness is that because my brother died, I always considered myself his replacement. I don't know where that thought came from. But it made me take on a masculine attitude and hope to be a protector for the women in my family, my mother and my sister. Most of my friends were boys and the games I played were also a lot of boys' games. Even so, I still maintained my attitude and boundaries and realized my nature as a woman.
I really liked playing in trees. I would climb trees with my friends to pick starfruit or guava. My mother once threatened to tie me to a tree if I kept doing it. Did I give up? Of course not. Every time I played, I asked one of my friends to keep watch. When he saw my mother coming home from work, he would tell me and I would immediately get down.
In my time, many children my age lived in the alley where I lived. So, this made us close to each other and we liked to play together. Sadly, as we grew older, we grew further apart and weren't as close.
I still remember Eid al-Fitr times, we would gather on purpose to go around to houses just to ask for THR. Going around together was a special kind of pleasure for the kids. We still did this ritual until we were in high school. Hehehe
My childhood could be said to be quite
happy. I had many adventures, I didn't feel afraid to do or try new things.
Although there were also some bad memories and stupid things I did.
I miss those times. I miss the version of
myself back then.
It seems enough to reminisce about the past. For those of you who are reading this post and feel like you were once part of my childhood story, I'm sorry if I ever did anything wrong in your life. Let's keep growing and becoming better.
To my past self, I'm sorry I haven't been
able to make you proud. But I will try to make sure we have a good ending.
The full challenge is here!!!
