Loud Scream

 Loud Scream 

Once upon when I was much younger, I used to dream of becoming an adult. I wanted to grow up so fast, I had the mindset that growing up was happiness and satisfaction. 

I remembered the day my Aunty asked me to leave the living room that the movie showing on the Television was not for Children, she specifically told me to go into my room and stay there.

I wondered why she would tell me that, like I felt sad; I thought she didn’t want me to see that movie because I was trying to understand why she would send me out and not let me watch and smile like she was doing. 

I loved watching cartoons and I used to say back then that when I grow up I will visit the cartoon world, the thought of growing up and visiting Cinderella, Snow White, Tom, and Jerry, etc made me long for adulthood the more because I felt I would have my own money and travel anywhere I like…not knowing they are not in existence as I see it on the television.

Another day I was told that I can’t sip a win simply because I was a child. I never knew what that meant, I felt that since everyone is taking the win and they are happy why can’t I? It was not making sense to me.

Some other day I saw a young lady putting on a pad, I was close to her so the inquisitive me wondered what it was…I guess she saw the curiosity in my eyes and told me that I will know what this is and what it is used for when I grow up.

At that point being an adult became the only thing I wished for, I wanted to grow up immediately. 

But now that I have finally grown, I want to go back to being a child…A child that only has to play, eat and sleep, a child that has nothing bothering or worrying her because she has adults to do the the worrying and thinking for her, a child that just enjoys life without having to disturb her tiny head about anything.

 They did not explain it well to me then 😔

Adulthood na SCAM 😩
