Gaya Avidor Week 14 - What Do I Miss From My Past?

This week, I decided to take a question from the ones Mrs. Ho listed for us. As I was looking through them, this particular question really stood out to me. Many times I find myself wondering what it would be like if we could go back in time and relive certain moments. Although there would be many memories I would choose to experience once again, it would probably be hard to pick my favorite. So today’s question is: When you look into the past, what do you miss the most?

When I look into my past, I could definitely say that I miss things, such as my previous house. The house I lived in before my current one was the house I was born into. It was the place that I grew up in for the first 11 years of my life. All of my fondest childhood memories were made there, and I often think about possibly buying back that house when I’m older. 

Other things I miss is spending every Sunday with my family like we used to do when I was younger. We had a set routine for every Sunday, which we usually spent going down to Miami or just taking a trip by car for the day. We would end the night by going to the same sushi restaurant each week, and getting ColdStone ice cream right after. These kinds of memories from my past are important to me because they have instilled in me the importance of family time, which is something I look forward to one day sharing with my own family. 

Other things I miss is not having to worry about life and my immediate future. Now, as seniors in high school, we are so pressured to know exactly what next steps we want to take and truthfully, not many of us really know. So, I miss the stress-free, care-free, and simply happy life that I used to live as a child. Don't get me wrong I'm happy also now, but I think sometimes I just want to relive my childhood. But, until someone invents a time machine, I guess we will be left to our imagination.
