Childhood Memories

Childhood Memories! Playing soccer as a forward and a goalie in early childhood through first grade meeting a pilot and a stewardess in kindergarten and even wanted to be a pilot for a while because I thought it was cool wanting to be a fireman, an astronaut, a zoologist, an anthropologist, a historian, a writer, a poet, and always changing my mind on what I wanted to be whenever I grew up playing board and video games with my siblings and my friends reading all sorts of books even writing four short stories and writing two amauter novels mimicking my favorite poets trying to write like them and always searching for my voice as a writer and a poet writing mostly spiritual and teenage angst poems never knowing my purpose and meaning in life always adventuring in and out of nature making up games to play with himself and my siblings going on road trips with my parents and my siblings wandering and pondering if Christianity and Mormonism's version of it religions were for me or not field tripping to all sorts of museums, water parks, IMAX theaters, adventure parks, bowling alleys, and arcades Learning to cook whatever I wanted to my stepdad who I never actually got along with because he wasn't my biological father to me however, he actually stepped up to the plate and adopted me as if I was his own child wanting to always meet my biological father who gave up his rights as a father to me whenever I was two years old hating myself because I considered myself to be boring, dumb, and that no one could ever understand my weirdness and differences struggling and overcoming my comprehensive and learning problems hating my mom for leaving my biological father and hiding him from me but I eventually got over and realized that she did what any mother in nature would have done, in order to protect her young spending nights and weekends with my grandparents and my granny doing all sorts of fun activities with my grandparents watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune all of the time reading dictionaries and encyclopedias working with and for my great uncle Fred picking up branches, twigs, sweet gum balls digging and pulling up lots thistle weed filling a week's worth in several of his trailers and being paid twenty bucks for it getting baptised in the LDS church attending a few other churches with my grandparents and my granny fishing quite bit went hunting for pigs with a backpack full of books hunted for squirrels and raccoons but never found any just found their tracks Swinging on a swing set twisting the chains on the swing all the way up and letting it unwind while I was facing down on my belly wanting to always be the cool and normal kid desired to loved and accepted by everything even certain ex-girlfriends and ex girls that were just friends that I wanted to be my lovers!
