When I was younger I walked to school in....

When I was younger I had to walk to school in a blizzard. No we really did.. LOL.. And a loaf of bread was a dollar and gas was like 65 cents a gallon. Growing up we have dreams and wishes. We have games that we play, and some we win and some we loose.. And some we loose really badly. We are taught lessons, some we learn and some we are still learning.. But when I think back to when I was growing up I would have never thought I would be right here.. Thinking back to the game MASH.. I married the man of my dreams, have a great home in the place I have always picked (Just somewhere warm), and what Cam has always picked a bus pass.. LOL.. But I couldn't be more ecstatic.. I cant see me being much more happy than this moment. As I look back on my life I was taught so many things, and yet I am still trying to learn them all.. I look back to when we used to play hide and seek on 23rd street, or race from one light pole to the other.. Build igloos under the porch when it snowed a lot. Sit on the porch and play vextrex. Watch the rain fall while eating ice cream and cookies. These are my happy memories and I have a hell of a lot more. The world I grew up in is not here any longer.. The music is different, the attitudes of people and parents are different. The people are different. The world truly is different. While growing up my mother would play music on her record player and we would jam.. I didn't start listening to rap until I was way older. But the lessons of love and life were there. Now music is garbage. I understand what my parents must have felt when our generation of music came out because I have a great disdain for this generation of music that is out now. Maybe the world is the same as it has been, when we get older we are quick to say "when I was younger" Man I cant tell you how many of those stories I heard.. But I find myself saying them now. Maybe the world is the same and I am the one that changed. Maybe the lessons that I was taught made my views change. Maybe I was sheltered in a way. But either way I am proud to say I have become one of those "when I was growing up" people.
