Songs on my playlist these past
few days were backstreet boys, spice girls, atomic kitten, westlife, M2M, and
other singers in the 90s. They’re gonna be my forever faves. No doubt about
that and I don’t care what you millennials say about that.
You see these songs just bring back
so many good memories of my childhood days – memories so surreal that make you
long to be back in those times again. When you were just an innocent child,
enjoying carefree days. No worries of anything or anyone or any circumstances
to hurt you or frighten you. Playing out in the streets with childhood friends
until night time. Under the heat of the sun or dancing in the rain. Scary storytelling
during full moons. Watching falling stars at night. Making balay-balays sa
kasagingan. And so many more.
So many many more…
I remember so many good and
precious memories to the point that remembering them hurts. It hurts because
you live now in a time so different from that one. A time when days weren’t so carefree
anymore. So many things to be done - unending responsibilities, challenging
times, confusing situations, hard decisions, so many things that scare you, unending
fear of tomorrow, everyday worries. You see, it’s exhausting living in this
kind of time with such a worry mind. That every time I get a chance to take a glimpse
of my childhood days - just FEEL that carefree feeling once again – I’d feel
sad. Sad to have the realization that I could never go back to those times
again. Never.
And I know that I am not the only
one.
I know that you are, too. And I’m
sorry for all our longing hearts.
And I’m just gonna end this here –
no “cheer up” words or “hey, it’s OK” lines. Because a Westlife song is currently
playing and my emotions cannot be held back.
