^^ The Innocence, Smiles and cries ^^

I miss that little girl who used to run around in pony tails all day long. I miss playing hide and seek and tag games. I miss being driven around on the front end of a kinetic. I miss being taken care of when i would fall and scratch my knee. I miss dancing and never caring what the people in front of me thought. I miss learning more about my culture and ethnicity rather than chasing after someone else's. I miss feeling like a leader in group activities. I miss the feeling of adventure when a car ride was longer than an hour. I miss that ring around those roses, that twinkling star, Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill. I miss speaking and feeling like a scholar at the age of 6. I miss memorizing the time tables and saying them over and over until perfect. I miss not paying attention to details. I miss never fighting with my mother and always believing that Madhuri Dixit's beauty was nothing compared to my Mummy's. I miss wearing colourful lipstick and nail polish at the same time. I miss dreaming bigger than big with friends I've known since I was three. I miss wearing a uniform everyday so that i wouldn't have trouble deciding what to wear. I miss having candid pictures that will one day be retro classical. I miss dancing in the rain when nobody would stop me. I miss riding on a bicycle all day long. I miss my Barbie dollhouse. I miss feeling like a grown up at the age of five, because I had a younger cousin to look after.

          We never realize the importance of people and things in our lives until they are gone. Just taking a second to think of what you appreciate in life can make your day. I took a few extra seconds to miss my young, carefree spirit.
