Childhood Realizations

I wasn't in class on Wednesday but it seems like we talked about how Millás incorporated his childhood memories into his book and how they are different now. I agree with that, after reading this and looking back upon my childhood everything is different and the world moves so much faster as I get older. I remember when I was younger the summers seemed to last forever (and most of the time I didn't mind, although sometimes I was ready for school to start again). I spent the summers swimming, playing games outside, playing board games, just doing whatever I wanted to do. I remember thinking we had the best basketball games and we were so good, or going to church and singing the hymns and thinking that it wouldn't be the same without me singing. When you go back and reflect on how things used to be and how much things have changed you realize that the thoughts as you were younger were nothing like how you remember them and you will never have the same experiences as you get older, which is actually sad, but not sad that you never thought that when you were younger.
