My childhood
Last night I couldn’t sleep and I started watching a TV programme that I love called friends so I thought about my friends, were they asleep? Is anyone of them awake like me? I remembered funny experiences I had with them, I started watching the photographs that I have in my walls and remembered that excellent times and how wonderful is that they can be captured in a single picture! and when I see them I fell excited, I feel really happy, exactly the same feeling that I had at that time, it’s like rebuilding that moment! I love photographs they have like a magic power for me, some of them make me laugh, others put me down, but all of them have a special significance for me …I payed special attention to one of my favourite photographs, there I was with my mum and my grandmother and it made me remind my childhood.I have two brothers that are older than me so I was a bit spoilt, well I am still like that but not in an exaggerate way. I am the only granddaughter of one of my grandmas, all my cousins are boys… so I have a very closed and special relation with her! Since I have memory one of the best plans was going to her house, it’s like an other world far away from problems and difficulties. That’s why nowadays when I have a problem I go to her house and get distract, take my time to think and reflect, and feel relief. When I was more or less four of five years old I enjoyed so much going to her house that I stayed three days or more and when my mother and father went to pick me up, I let them in, closed the door and hided the key, I wanted to stay with them there forever but at the end my mother had to carry me to the car and I complained all the way back home!My grandmother did for me things that anyone would do… she always had a different plan for me: we went to the park, had ice-creams, went downtown, bought toys, and cooked. When we went to the grocery to buy vegetables for dinner I had the same bag as her but a little one and I picked up freely all I wanted and then cooked for my grandfather. When he arrived back from work he had to eat all that horrible uncooked food that I had prepared, saying it was delicious!One day, it was march and I told my grandmother that I wanted to go to the beach again, to make sand castles. Minutes later, she went to a construction of a building and asked for a bit of sand so we stayed all day making castles so I was very excited! I miss being a child! When everything was funny and easy and people as my mother, father or grandma stayed near me to do what made me happy! Everything was so simple!

Corina I think your entry is really fantastic. It is a wonderful idea to talk about your chilhood and your family; which are the most important and valuable things that a person have, because they will always be with you, not only in your memory, but also deeply in your heart! Everybody would be,(as would be not) passenger in your life, such as boyfriends, impossible loves or some friends; but your family will always be with you, will always support you.
I think, also as you sayed, that photographs have a special power on persons, it is true that make you live the moment again, and you are able to feel exactly the same feeling that you feel in that moment. You are able to experiment the same sensations that made you so happy once! I also love photographs and enjoy a lot to bring moments back through them.
Finally, I would like to remark a phrase of your text that I really like: "Everything was so simple!", that is so true, that I think about it and I would like to go back and return to that time in which everything was colour pink... and complains didn't exist.
Yes..I agree with her,now life is getting really complicated and we have many responsabilities but also many advantages.. I still miss those times !!
