Memories

Today I played hide and seek again for the first time in years. It was actually pretty fun and it was pitch dark outside so no one could find anyone. We hid between houses and may have trespassed a bit but that's all part of the fun! I talked to one of my long time friends and shared pictures of her brother dressed up as a princess. It was nice. I saw old friends and made new ones and even though I feel far too old for neon Popsicles they were a wonderful treat. Afterwards we went inside and talked about the worries of high school: drugs, a possum falling through the ceiling and the Lorax (obviously). It was nice to feel like a kid again. I am proud I remembered to wear black instead of white. I attribute my three wins to the darkness of my clothing, I could never get that right as a kid. It was nice but there is one thing that is good about being older: the ability to write. Now, I'll have these memories forever. Maybe one day I can read this and remember again what it was like to be a kid.
