When I was Five

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was Five I don’t think I had any concept of what being “grown up ” would be like I was probably overthinking the challenges and difficulties of being five.

I can only remember everything being quite difficult.There was a lot I couldn’t do myself and needed help with. I suppose I looked at all these busy people (my parents and brothers and sisters) and on the whole they were there for me.My world was difficult enough as it was without the  ambition to be them.

If I ran and fell over it hurt, I was frightened of going into the hall which had no light.I didn’t like going to the toilet myself,but then again I didn’t want to go with anyone else. I fiddled with food,I don’t know why, I had to go to the doctor because they thought I had TB.I hated going anywhere where people poked and prodded me and made me undress.I did want to go to school as everyone  else seemed to do that.

So there you go,that was the way it was for me.

Namaste,Thank You for Reading.
