My best childhood memories....

Hello hivians, its been a while. Welcome to my blog once again.

Ones childhood period is a time that is wonderful, you discover a lot and also very curious. Then, the smallest things as one candy can bring joy to your heart. I don't dispute the fact that some people didn't experience the best childhood and so couldn't get good memories but if you did, it's a plus because now as an adult with plenty to think about, its just something else. Even after many years behind, when I just remember it, I smile. If you missed having childhood memories, you missed out of a lot because that's when everyone had someone to think about you but now you think of yourself.

My best childhood memories will be the time I came ba home for holidays and I get time yo eat well, relax, olay and fight with my siblings and friends. At least I know they'll be less reading and waking up do early to prepare for school. The freedom was like fresh air to breathe in, the way I and my siblings and friends will rush outside after our house chores to play , sometimes without even knowing our destination.

Some days its either we were acting the kids drama or our favorite , playing under the rain because we couldn't get on the swimming pool then, so we had to create our own. So many times we fell sick but the fun that came with doing that was great. We climbed trees, fences, hunred for fruits, mounted traps for bush animals.

As an igbo girl, we should know that Christmas is never joked with. That's the time to meet our grandparents, cousins we haven't seen for a long time, cousins we speak to only on the phone. So I really cherished the Christmas holidays because it was a time to stay bond with family, time to receive gifts from your rich aunties and uncles, time to eat a lot of food. We never ran of activities to do, everything was fun and it made me relax. Now that attention is no longer there , because our little nieces and nephews get that now.

The Christmas carols from my grandparents and the family Thanksgiving at the end of every year was tremendous. And then since we stayed in the city, we didn't have streams, so with a stream nearby, we just had a favorite place to play.

Looking back at my childhood times, sometimes I don't even remember the big times, just like I said even giving me candy then could mean a lot then, It's just those little times I spent that comes to mind easily and have left the deepest marks. My childhood memories remind me everyday the less burden, freedom, joy and fin time it was and it has made me be grateful for family and friends. And it has taught me that even the smallest things bring joy and matters too.

I will be inviting @gloreal @mmenyene and @etteuwad for this prompt.

Radiant, elegant and authentic
