    I've been thinking of how much I just missed innocenly roller skating around as a kid. Sure, I can still do that now, but my friends have all grown out of it and moved on. It was a lot of fun for me back in the day and I hadn't realized how nostalgic something like that would become. Oh, and our local elementary school park!

    You?
     
    Quite few things !!






    The first thing which is foremost to me is that how easy the life was! It was all meant for enjoying everything which I did. No pressure at all. Scoring high in exams were very easy.

    I can also remember how I used to play with all the neighboring kids during our summer vacation. Back then, I was one of the two captains for our team-making process. The fun starts at 5 AM, when couple of classmates shout my name to bring me out, and I used to get ready to play by 4:45 AM, as if I am just waiting for my name to be called !! Then I came out with my cycle and cricket bat.
    Then I gave my cycle to one of those two to bring out other classmates and kids who were little far and I went with other one to bring out those who were in proximity. This all takes around 30-40 minutes, and then we started to play from 5:45 AM, and it lasted till 11 AM. Then again from 4PM to 7PM, we used to play. So much play !!


    The good thing was how good and ego less kids are. Even if they quarrel, they forget all those and played together yet again. But bring this to grown up people, you will find that misunderstanding and quarrels causes rift between people because of their ego being hurt.


    The birthday. All of the neighboring classmates and kids used to come at each other's birthday party at night, and for which our moms used to arrange a grand dinner for the occasion. It was like Fest. No more birthday celebration now....

    The festival celebration with them. Nowadays I celebrate festivals with my parents only.


    The last school day before vacation. It was so much buzzing that even teachers used to teach nothing in that day, and only gave holiday homework in last 10 minutes of their class. Exclude that and teachers used to have random chit-chats with all the students. This created a good trust of students on their teachers.



    So much free and easy time for sure, with no pressure and tension.

    I was extremely close with a specific cousin growing up. We spent so many hours of each day together, but as we got older drifted apart intensely. I'm not sure what the exact cause of the split was. Maybe both of our personalities changed too much and we were no longer compatible.

    I did go out of the way to get him a birthday present this year. In turn, he completely forgot about mine. I was reminded that our bond is dead in the water.

    I wouldn't say I'm on 'bad' terms with him. We make small talk occasionally. But even in my head I view him as more of a stranger now. But occasionally I do think back to when we had been like close friends.

    update on this: he kindly sent me $20 :-)

    I really wasn't expecting it. He remembered after all.
     
    As the Jungian shadow forced to live the life of the original, that self had to lose itself & be shattered to pieces in the process in order for me to take its place.
    Now those remnants of the original dwell inside me as the feminine one of the two dissociative personalities, July.

    And every single relationship I had crumbled with it, the family members seemingly speaking to a person that has long dissipated when addressing me.
    That realization drove me to move away from the part of the country that signified the old life, as those relationships grew estranged in the process.
