When I was say 6 or 7 Years old, my twin sister and I would constantly complain about being kids. We would say things like, "Brandie man...I'm ready to grow up..We can't do NOTHING!" and then when you get old you come to the realization that being an adult isn't all what its cracked up to be. I mean it does have its perks, you can make your on money, have control of your own schedule, and do (within means) what ever you like. But it seems to me that looking back on child hood, it all was so simple.. and no matter how much your parents would try and convince you how difficult it is to be an adult, you still long for the freedom of being one. I remember like it was yesterday playing with my favorite cousin Jose'. We would go outside and roller blade, climb trees, mess up my
aunt Kim's house, Etc. But I think one of my greatest childhood memories was when my little cousin would make me and Brandie his, "Specialty" baked potato, Which was loaded down with just about every condiment in the refrigerator including hot sauce and steak sauce. I mean Jose' would literally put EVERYTHING on that potato. It was so funny we would sit down like we were in a fine restaurant, he would give us napkins and plates and one of his moms drinks (that we probably wasn't suppose to drink because they were for his daddy's lunch) and we would have such a great time. REALLY.. those were the good Ole days. Now with me and Brandie in college and Jose' graduating High School (finally), things are totally different. We rarely see him and it seems like we have all changed in more ways than one. But I think of point of this blog ( which I know you all were wondering about.. ) is that sometimes the grass always seems greener on the other side, and maybe it is...but the important thing to remember is you have to be happy with where you are in life, good times roll by but you should always be willing to create more great memories with the ones you love. Its important to never forget where you come from and always look forward to where you're going. I'm happy I'm not a little kid any more and sometimes I feel like I hate being an adult, but the reality is. I'm BLESSED. Blessed to live in America, Blessed to have a wonderful family, boyfriend, friends, and dog. Blessed to be able to see, walk, talk, run. So I guess what I am trying to say is I still have the opportunity to be something great. Just gotta keep the dream alive. Let's dream folks.
