In response to VJ´s Weekly Challenge.
As a little one I was taught to want to be grown up,
as a grow up I want to learn to be a little one,
And so when I make the same mistake again,
maybe you won´t take it into much consideration.De Mayor – Song by Enrique Bunbury
There aren´t many things I still recall
on being a 5 year old child,
I loved horses, and I drew hundreds of them,
pages and pages piled.
At home we had a dog but I loved cats
I dreamed to be the Vet Queen;
even when my hopes fell flat
I would dress as a cat in Halloween.
I developed asthma, all pets were gone,
in exchange for painful skin allergy tests.
We moved out to a warmer home,
goodbye dreams, no matter how much I protested.
I was 5, but a good reader already,
running would cause me an asthma attack;
books were my personal sanctuary
when my cousins would chase me as a pack.
They couldn´t understand my new hobby,
I loved to get lost in a new story,
I couldn´t play in the yard with the doggy,
they hid my books, they were naughty.
I had a bob hairdo that I hated
if I wanted it longer I had to wait,
I wanted to be like Rapunzel
today it´s red, and falls to my waist.
Those were little things I knew
when I was five and still went to school;
now there are dogs, and cats in my world
and inside my stories unicorns rule.

I hope you enjoyed this random thoughts about my early (and first) childhood. As the song says, I´m already enyoing my third childhood, full of unicorns and imaginary friends that end up in my stories.
Do you still remember how you were as a child? Did you achieve your dreams? I´d love to hear your memories.
Sweet musings of a former five-year-old, now finding herself again. Thanks for joining in!

😀Thanks to you for the challenge! It was quite fun doing it, and makes me ponder about the synchronicity of finding yesterday that photo of myself as little mite, less than two hours prior.

Love it when synchronicity happens.

Very sweet, and I got a wonderful sense of your first childhood, happiness and struggles all. I remember being a goofy kid who wanted to make others laugh. Often, I succeeded. I envy that version of me who didn’t mind if his jokes didn’t land.

Thank you! And it’s quite cool that you cared to bring joy and laughter to other people. I remember being very shy, but I didn’t mind it, because I had a lot of cousins, so our house was usually full with kids.

Sweet musings. As a child I drew a lot of animals. Quiet, shy myself with a very active mind!
