Young and Carefree




We sat quietly, made to think of a memory where you were younger, happier. In the memory, I was about six, but I had showed up in a meadow my mother used to bring me to in San Francisco. The grass was soft on my feet and had white daisy mixed in with it were little pink and purple flowers. I saw myself at six and my six year old self took my hand and wanted me to go with her. She flashed me her adorable little smile missing some of her teeth and led me down a small hill.
The next thing I saw was me in my backyard helping my mother plant flowers and water the garden. When I was younger and still to this day; I haven’t wanted to help out with the garden, even though I thought it was fun. But this time I was helping her, and it was summer mid June. It wasn’t very hot, actually it was the perfect weather it was just warm. No wind or clouds, just sun. I remember my mother was by the the rose bed doing something probably planting more flowers. My younger self walked over to the porch and sat on the steps and just watched her until I decided to go inside and grab my favorite Hello Kitty coloring book. I have always loved coloring books even to this day, no matter what is in them. Coloring and drawing inspire me to do what I want and feel creative, it doesn’t matter if the drawing is good or bad it as long as it made me happy.
My brother and my sister were always at camps and my dad at work. It was always me and my mother, she was my best friend, we never argue, but we do disagree and make each other sad like everyone else does, but still to this day we have been friends and we always will be.  My mom is such a kind spirited person and feels so motherly to be around, she will always want the best for anyone. I love her with all my heart and always will.
