Having the belief that there are people you can turn to when you can't
handle something yourself.

Riding the school bus and being able to stretch your legs out and not reach
the seat in front of you when you are sitting down, but that is the only thing
that was good about the bus, other than being the last to get dropped off and
that was when the mean bus driver was magically changed to this nice lady that
would give us candy...

There were some good points, mostly being able to feel fairly secure at
home and not having many of the worries I do now, but all those worries
are because I can do things that I couldn't do then. I like it better
this way, although I sometimes question why.

re#8, I don't know about you, but being hassled into cleaning my room
(after age 6 or so) was a real pain. Also, I was doing dishes at 8 and
cooking, sewing, and doing laundry after age 10, with major responsibility
for that stuff after 12. I'm happier as an adult for many more reasons
than those.

The "really big hill" near my house now looks like a moderately sized pile
of dirt. It didn't shrink; my perspective changed as I got bigger.

I find that hills seem bigger than when I was a kid..
When I was younger I wouldn't have thought twice about sprinting up the
steepest of inclines whereas now, I find it an immense effort to walk up one,
perspectives can change in many ways, the important thing is our perception of
ourselves.. if you can see yourself as young and playful, then you can still
go sledding down those really big hills.. you just need a chairlift nowadays is
all.. ;)

for some reason, though, i don't feel that my childhood has ended. i think
that every one of us needs some child in us to get along...
