All about my childhood!!

in Hive Naija25 days ago

Thinking about my childhood right now is bringing back a lot of memories into my mind, the kind of fun activities I engaged in "I wish I could go back to those days" Unfortunately I can't go back, in this life game of growing up "we aren't allowed to go back, its more like a forward ever ride" I've missed my childhood so much, growing up I felt like being an adult was gonna be more fun compared to being a child "like I couldn't wait to be an adult" but currently the adult me is trying to rephrase that statement to suit myself.

No doubt childhood has a significant impact on our lives, and no wonder everyone aside from me, "I'm included," is missing their childhood and the memories they had and shared with family; those memories can be cherished forever. As children we were never bothered about anything like work, or stress "though house chores were a little stressful" But then we got to live life to the fullest without worrying about what to eat or even clothes to wear, we were just there occupying space in an apartment that they don't pay rent "enjoying the benefits of being an offspring".

One thing that can't be forgotten is the charm that is accompanied by childhood, the fun activities we engaged in, but then, even as children growing up, we weren't allowed to participate in certain activities. One activity I was deprived of as a child was playing in the rain, whenever it rained my mum would lock the door leading to the living room and say "Nobody leaves" so I didn't play under the rain "That experience is one I didn't get" and I don't miss that particular one.

As a child I was interested in learning how to sing, back in the children's department I can remember vividly when I used to join the children's choir in church "I was a good singer then" where I would join the children and sing different kind of songs "I loved those moments" I felt so proud of myself whenever I was singing, at some point singing became my passion but something happened that made me stop.

I did not stop singing entirely, though, so after a while, my mum stopped me from going to rehearsals because it closed very late, our rule in the house was "never stay out late", and my mum wasn't comfortable with the whole thing again and asked me to stop going to my rehearsals.

Little story: Recently, in my place of work, we normally have morning devotions, so the singing aspect of it started, and I was among those who were singing. After we were done with the devotion, I was walking downstairs back to my office when my colleague tapped me and said "Tari don't sing again" I was shocked and asked why, and he said " Tari, you were singing off" he didn't end there, he continued and was like " at some point I got confused with the whole song". I'm not gonna call myself someone who knows how to sing because whenever I sing, the people around me would be like, "Tari, don't start".

All these negative feedbacks from people whenever I sing don't get to me "It does a little" but then I don't take it to heart. So whenever I'm in a public place, what I normally do "is sing with a very low tone in order not to confuse people." Hehe!!!.

Childhood memories is indeed fun and I also remember back then I love singing and every now and then I was disturbing the neighbors with my loud voice. 😊😊

I finally had the opportunity to join the choir but Then we had to change to a new location so sad. 😭

Yeah!! If I sing for you right now it's likely to change your mood

I grew up always wanting to be an adult and finally now a Young adult it definitely wasn't how I pictured it then it is now.

Adulthood has changed, I understand, not like how we always imagine it growing up

It definitely isn't.

We just gotta keep going, we definitely can't go back to being kids lol.

People would be insensitive and very disrespectful if you give them an inch. I remember being told to shut up that my voice was horrible. It could have been true but as stubborn as I am, I was not going to let another human being decide what I got to do. If it’s really something you love, do as you see fit 😉

Childhood was fun, many people will give up everything to have the opportunity to experience and enjoy the fun again.

There are more polite way to point out a mistake to people instead of hitting it so hard...Tori, don't sing again was not polite if you ask me but that's by the way
Maybe if u had started earlier as a child, you would have learned to sing better

It's more like aspiring to get where you haven't been but when you finally get there you start missing the good old days of where you were yesterday.

Growing up as a child once you're in good hands wil always be fun and will always be a memory we cling to

Hehe.. was it that bad that he couldn't endure, lol
You handled it well too.. many would have used it as an avenue or total outburst

Same to me here, whenever am in public i don't sing loud because if I try to sing loud people will run😂😂😂, even sometimes two of my cousins that have the sweet voice to sing normally insult me that my voice is bad that I should stop singing, though it use to pain me but I don't use to heed to their warning. And about your house rule never stay out late, my grandma always tell us because am also in children chores group then and we normally close by 6:00 or 7:00, so she will tell me and my cousin sister that before 5:30 we should be home because she hate it whenever someone come home late.
