Astonishingly, I can't remember being a thumbsucker

As far as I know I wasn't. I wouldn't keep my pacifier in for long neither beause I had bad urges to make myself be heard at all time, lol. And I've been biting my nails since early childhood so I think that sort of replaced many other habits.

Last night reminded me of something that has been going through my mind lately.

In the last couple of weeks

there are days i wish i'd never had to grow up. i had two wonderful parents who cared for me. we never had much money, but i was always warm and fed. i had an older brother who was old enough to look up too but not so old we played together all the time. i had a vivid imagination that created a whole world out of a pile of plush toys and barbies. i had the outdoors to run around in, four channels on my tv to watch cartoons and sport with my dad. and I had my blankie that fixed most everything wrong.

i've never been close to that happy in my adulthood. i worry every moment about money, the house, my job. i don't even speak to my brother any more because we have nothing to say to one another.

i love it when i talk to kids who are desperate to be adults. they think sex and drinking are the best things in life and they rush to it. they don't want to be told what to do. and there is no way to tell them to appreciate their childhood. appreciate that someone else is making the important decisions, making sure there is food and shelter, taking care of bad things. because they can't.

you never know what is good until you don't have it any more
