When I was 5 all I cared about was building the next lego tower or getting in trouble for not sharing something
The older I got age 7 was tomboy when I just wanted to climb trees I didn't care about makeup I just loved the earth and dirt was under my fingernails for playing in the yard
And making up games to play with the neighborhood kids
Age 9 I became aware a little more about my surroundings but I loved my barbies and dolls and dressing them up
Dancing around the house like there is no tomorrow
trying to be serious and falling and burst out laughing
Not getting what death means that someone is truly gone and not coming back I figured that out later in life once gone it doesn't come back for you
Age 10 I became a huge bookworm always head in the books instead of the clouds
I never worried about judgement I was care free and troublesome creature ...
Age 11 I realized makeup and wanted it
I started to wake up from my dream To the real world and what its like I got interested in clothes and shoes and fashion and loved it
Age twelve I got obsessed with makeup ,clothes,fashion,shoes "what all the girls at my school were wearing' and I "had to have it" I got caught up in the cloud of drama...and having a middle school life
Thirteen Im obsessed with modeling and dieting even though
I'm skinny I find out about my friend trying to commit suicide
Im stung by how the real world is...
Nothing like how I imagine my world as a 8 year old in a safe little bubble
How I wish i could go back and appreciate my childhood
This is so true!
