I’d like to ask you: what does “childhood” mean to you ? Is it the most beautiful period or just the beginning of a cruel life ?
For me, the childhood years can’t be compared with anything. It is not only that you learn to talk, walk, run, laugh and so on. It is the period when you have the freedom to explore something unknown, the period when you have no worry and no sorrow. What if you get hurt ? Mom kisses and comforts you and you forget about everything. What about the stories told by granny ? There are Kings and Queens and butterflies and smiles. They make you hope for the better, for being a princess or a king. Or about the witchy stories and scary jokes told in the middle of the night ? Watching TV and hoping one day you’ll be a football player or something more. I have no doubt in saying that one’s childhood is the most important part of life for somebody. You hide and eat more sweets than you are allowed to and then you barely eat anything. Because that is just the way life is then: sweet. So what if you are rejected ? You cry a little, but you see it doesn’t deserve your time and happiness and you go and play those noisy games. You love your life and don’t care about who you are, who they are. It simply goes.
But on the other hand, there are people who don’t even want to hear about childhood.Why ? Most of the cases because they were unhappy. Dad used to beat mom, or he was adopted… All these dramas you watch on TV. And it is sad. None of us could describe that part unless we were involved into something like that.
In conclusion, I think that childhood years are the most important for a man’s life because you grow and learn about everything. Childhood is marvelous and it is worth enjoying intensely.
