Still a baby
 

I still consider myself a child. I'm only 23 and I'm a young 23 year old. I have always been a drama queen and my younger sister (she's 20) she's always kinda been the big sister. I guess its changing now - we're finally playing the roles we were meant to play and I'm starting to take care of her instead of her having to take care of me - but I guess childhood memories don't really seem that far away from me.

When I go grocery shopping with my sister at night (we live together so we always shop together) we take of our sneakers and pretend we're "iceskating" down the aisles in our socks.:accj:

When I'm driving I always pretend I'm in a film clip and sing along at the top of my lungs.

I have pictures of tinkerbell all over my room because she is my idol

I still get scared of the dark and always always end up in my sisters room if there's a thunder storm cause I'm too scared to hide out alone

I think there's nothing better than having my sister tell me a bedtime story or me telling her one - we make up stories as if we lived in magical forests far far away.

I still watch cartoon movies like the little mermaid and aladdin - and still cry in the sad bits!

I've so many more but I jsut thought I'd share some of my childhood memories - not so much memories but day to day life!!!


Love to all - this post made me really happy today:dance1:

See, there are some childhood memories in there for each of us to treasure. All those wonderful memories are ment to be cherished FOREVER.

I am sooooo enjoying the shares you've post so far. These are definitely given me a fuzzy feeling inside.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.

I STILL FEEL YOUNG AT HEART BECAUSE OF YOU. : )

I was out in the "yard" today or in other words...the parking lots collecting baskets or carts when I spotted a PT Cruiser. It made me think back or reflect on the cars we use to ride in or drive. Today they are rare, hard to find, don't make'em anymore, vintage, antiques....The COOL CARS back then in the 30's 40's 50's, 60's,70's.... : ) Anyway...i was looking at the handle on the door and it reminded me of how the handles on the old cars use to be just like that. Today....u dont need to insert key to unlock ur car, its all done with a flip or push of a button. Ther handles use to have to be turned to open and now u just pull on it...... Hmmmmm......just newer tecnology....

I even recall when u had to roll the windows down manually....before power windows.

I do however reminise of days gone by and the way things use to be back then.

Do u miss the bench seats in the cars? I kinda do. lol

I don't remember a lot of my childhood.

When i watch family home videos, it would appear that I was very happy, and that I had a lot of fun.

I remember that I loved my grandmother A LOT. I was extremely extroverted and made friends easily. I loved to play, play, play ALL DAY LONG.

I would write stories, novels, poems and plays. My sister and I would act out these plays ... or my friends and I would. I loved acting, playing dress-up, inventing stories. I loved pretending to be someone else.

To this day, I still love theatre and the arts. I have a natural propensity towards the artistic.

Hello SR friends,,,,newcomers...elders....

Feel free to share a little if ud like
about fond memories of ur childhood.

When i work at my job in the grocery
store, i visit with many children that
come in with their moms...we have
many HEB babies that have grown
up with our store family.

Just the other day a co-worker and i
were reminicing about the days we use to
color and loved having a new coloring
book and a brand new box of crayons....

Boy do i remember those days....

Now thats a cool feeling..!

Do i ever revisit my childhood....everyday... good memories and some not....

Refreshing this topic for u to share a childhood
memory with us and the many newer members
just joining us here in SR.


I'll be going home to Baton Rouge in Dec.
for a visit....Im extremely anxious and
cant wait to go. Why? Because its home.

altho i live here in Houston now, my heart
aches all the time to return home for good
one day. Why?

I miss it terribley. It not because of my
immediate family because we are distant...
No feuding...just no communication.....why?
Because they dont see me as an Alcoholic.
They think i brought all this on to myself,
possibly for attention. And of course that
me doing some speculation BIG time....

Ive alianated myself form them....i dont
think i need to keep explaining my self
to them of my disease and my behavior.

Im like a square peg trying to fit in their
round hole of life....im just not gonna fit.

Anyway...i am sooooo looking forward to
seeing a few of my closest friends inside
out of AA.... most my AA family.....

In early recovery i went to so so so
many meetings that it took at least
6 yrs to finally get comfortable around
them. Id go and show up but i didnt
say much..most listened and absorbed.

Then i had to move here to Houston.

Anyway...Home in Baton Rouge holds
many wonderful memories....mostly
because its where i got sober....but
i do have my childhood memories fresh
on the surface....some good and some
not....I do reflect on the good ones
which im glad i have....they make me
smile and give me that warm fuzzy feeling
inside.

One childhood memory would be at this
time of the yr...holidays approaching...
decorations, excitement in the air....
food....wonderful food we didnt have all
yr long but now its a special occassion
to eat it....

Playing holiday songs....just that wonderful
feeling in the air....

going outside where the air is cooler now...
walking on the cool grass bare foot.....

Sitting in the treehouse....walking on a
horse...one of those wooden things u use
to stand on to paint the house or to
hold a piece of lumber to cut...

This one was high off the ground like
a balance beam....so i could walk across
it and pretend i was in ballet class... : )

So what memories do u have that u remember
and would like to share with us.

Two of my five cars had a wind-up handle :lol: I was in my 20s/30s but they were models prevalent in my childhood. (I've not driven for six years now)
I've had to look at some old stuff for my sanity and some of it - painful bullying - has become extra raw of late.
What Leviathon wrote pretty well sums up my position basically.
