i realize now that my childhood is/was such a comforting thing. i really enjoy looking back on it, because i can forget everything for a moment, and just remember. when i was younger, things just seemed so much simpler. i didn't have nearly as many responsibilities, and i didn't know half the things i know now.
today, while i was walking to work i saw a group of girls playing jump-rope. i asked if i could join in for a little bit, and they said yes. i honestly haven't jump-roped since maybe the fourth grade, and i was surprised that i was still able to do it. i think listening to them sing one of their jump rope rhymes and playing with them reminded me so much of elementary school, and how my friends and i would play like that together during recess. i don't know what it was, but it really just made me feel so happy.
and when i was watching a movie, maybe halfway through a christmas song played. it didn't really have anything to do with the movie at all, but i still got that nostalgia for my childhood. sure its the middle of spring, but just the idea of it being christmas seemed nice. i think i like the music, the family traditions, and the general good feeling that i get during that time of the year. i can't put my finger on it, but i guess i just love the cozy and christmassy feeling.
maybe it's stupid for me to be saying this, but it's true.
