Childhood and its Fun

Childhood reminds me of my years of excessive play with friends. Should I say I was among the children who found waking up to prepare for school tiring and annoying and happiest when the holiday was around the corner? All kinds of holidays bring nothing but joy to my heart.

Most of my childhood holidays were with my grandma. But since I had aunts that lived in nearby villages, disturbing my grandma about how I wanted to spend my holiday became a hymn she one day fell in love with. She accepted my request and told my aunt, who wholeheartedly accepted that I should. One of my most cherished memories was spending a holiday at my aunt's house. Having children of my age around made my stay fun and interesting.

It was a memory filled with lots of adventure and fun. We roamed from different bushes in search of "achi" seeds for my aunt, fetching firewood and heading from one river to another to swim like there was no tomorrow. Life in the village was easy and amazing. We had so much in abundance then. I remember getting mangos by simply walking into a bush, unlike now that these things can't be found for free anymore.

A village is also one place where agricultural practices are taken very seriously. Farming isn't just for adults; everyone is involved in the pre-activities. From clearing the farm until the wedding stage.The experience of participating in these activities taught me that we only get rewards for working hard.

Taking my mind back to this memory makes me wish I could go back to my childhood days. Everything about the place has changed. Starting with the environment. It's no longer looking rural like it was then. Many things have been taken away. Lots of development has taken place, and many of my loved ones have relocated to different places for green pasture. Although lots of changes have occurred, the memory still remains fresh in my heart to this day.

I can't really say I can recreate the joy and past happiness in this present time the way it was back then because of lots of changes and developments. Though I cherish my past, I still value creating new memories, like sitting out with friends or engaging in other fun activities with friends.
