SPEAKING TO MY YOUNGER SELF
I can remember twenty years ago when I was still a little boy that doesn't really know much as a kid. I was pampered by my parents so much that I can't just forget things so easily. As a kid that I am, everything I needed at that was been provided to me by my parents where my siblings and I lack nothing.
I don't think of anything apart from studying, eating and playing whereas I know that every other thing is been taking care of by my parents. Even when I wasn't feeling fine at that time, the only thing needed was to make a complain and I will be taking care of without delay.
Almost all my time as a kid the only thing I know how to do best was to play because I play a lot but no matter how dirty my clothes would be my mum will still be there to care of it. However as a child I have a clean heart and I don't know any evil and I don't think of any.
I enjoy a life of a little child than that of an adult. Adulthood is not really easy where you have to take care of yourself before anyone else but still responsibilities surrounds it which is also compulsory to take care of.
How I wish God will ask me to make one request, I could have ask that he should take me back to my childhood days. I am the type that likes traveling especially school holidays. I remember I have a lot of uncles and aunties that I usually visit during the holiday period and it was fun then seeing my fellow children that I have not see for a long time
We play together go to some nice places, Most of the time we watch movies together, I enjoy it when all the children gather in the seating room watching movies, it's a huge fun which I easily don't forget. Although I am an adult now but I will say life of a child is very interesting. I could remember during my school days as a child, any children's day is always a memorable event where public holiday is given and children are recognized nation wide.
A lot of things happens during my child hood that is more fun and entertaining than my adult hood. There are somethings I enjoy doing as a child which I can't do now as an adult. I remember as a child during the rainy days, me and my friends will assemble under the rain playing, it's was really fun then.
One thing about this type of play we don't know is that we are contacting cold without knowing. All this memories where surrounded with the fact that I felt the future will continue like that not knowing life is a gradual process and a stage to find oneself.
If i am given the privilege to speak to my younger self, I would advice myself in planning for the future in other to fight against challenges at a early stage rather than depending on any anyone and avoid having the mindset of having people as back up for help. We learn everyday but my younger self would have been a preparation for secure a better life earlier if I work towards it.
I’m kind of curious. Is there anything in particular you’d tell your younger self to plan for in future?
I like the part you said you want to avoid the pain of depending on anyone which I believe is not really advisable in most cases.
I agree with you when you say life is a gradual process and a stage to find oneself
