My Ever After

I tend to cling to my childhood years. Every night i reminisce the days when I would play in the puddle of water and dance in the rain without any clothing.When I was younger, i used to hide uder my blanket to thumbsuck. I could not sleep without it. I remember my mom asking how my thumb tastes like and chocolate was my reply even if it didnt taste like chocolate at all.

But the best thing about being a child is not knowing some things about the world. There were a lot of things that I didnt understand. The only pain we felt was the wound we acquired from stumbling. Every decision we made was based on our parents instinct and the blame was on them if we made the wrong decision.

I miss those days. I miss sleeping between my parents. I miss playing in the playground without worrying if my hair was a mess. I miss trying out barbie shoes and everything pink to match barbie’s clothes. There’s so much in the yesteryears that I have truly cherished. These are the treasures of my life, the memories which I would not trade anything for….

Two years ago my brother bought one of the best game consoles in the world,the xbox 360. I immediately got hooked up with this console. I remember playing "gears of war" with him. My character was running around wishing i could not be hit by the bullets chasing me. My brother in the background screaming and telling me not to go too far because the game will end as soon as i die. I had to make sure that i would not be the reason for the game over. Unfortunately i was always the reason which lead him to play alone.I also miss the times when i would stay at home the whole day to play "virtua tennis". My player was so good and could beat Maria Sharapova and the Williams sisters. I was the world number one player.xbox 360 was my life. It gave me the reason to stay at home and be lazy.It had the best graphics and the best games.Its sad that my brother owns it and it has to be with him wherever he goes.

My life as a student will be ending soon and yet i havent figured out the next path i would be taking. This is probabaly the most confusing crossroad in my life. Definitely a life changing event. Im fortunate enough to have my family backing me up all the way. Their guidance will surely help me in making the best and the right decision. My dad will probably be pushing me to puruse a masters degree just like how he persuades my brother.My mom will be asking me about which path i would like to take but deep inside she is supporting my dad’s idea. My sister however will be..uhm..maybe..Im really not sure what to say about her.But i guess she will criticize my every move.When the time comes when i have made my decision,i know that she will be at my side supporting me and rooting for my success. My brother has been my inspiration. He has stumbled so many times but he never gave up. In times that i fail he never turns his back on me instead he narrates to me a similar experience he had. Through his pep talks,I have gained so much confidence in my self and courage to fight the demons in my life. At this point of my life wherein a new chapter will be ending, I have nothing to worry about knowing that i have the best family to start a chapter with. These persons make me successful in every way. We are a family,a team and the best that one can have. So for tomorrow, I welcome with open arms and no worries.. picture source: Macky Adarna
