Nostalgia

There come's a time when nostalgia hits and you start remembering most or something in your past, we all had good times growing up.

I mean don't you miss it when you used get up around 7 or 6  am and just go outside and run around and play with your friends and neighbors because you wanna have a great time so you start it really early so it would last longer?

Not giving a damn how you look like you just getting out there and letting the world see who you are without a care in the world!

When it used to feel like a you committed a crime by just saying a bad word, and when you look at it now, you laugh and realize that this word is not bad at all, its just what our parents told us.

Getting dirty and getting the EYE from you mom because you left muddy foot prints as your walking in.

When we used to go home by at least 5 pm or 6 because we had a curfew.

When life was just simple and you didn't care about what people said because you didn't even know the meaning of the word rumor.

When we didn't spend 5 hours on Instagram, twitter, Facebook or whatever social media websites kids now days.

When we used to get trouble in school just because we didn't share your crayons or your sweet treats. 

When little boys only cry because they fell and hurt their knee while playing side.

When little girls only cried when they get their barbie taken away.

When we only used to listen to music from Disney because that was our billboard chart music.

When we used to hold hands with our moms as we walked through the mall.

When we used to just do whatever we wanted without worrying about being judged by someone.

When it wasn't a hassle on where to go and who we hang with because our parents used to do that for us.

When we didn't live everyday like it was a test, or having a test all day.

I miss those days, when we actually felt happy for no reason or for simple reasons, the feeling of freedom was to do as we pleased since we didn't have that feeling of responsibility or any obligation to do so, we do whatever we want and we don't have to push our selves to do the things that we love. 

No one said growing up will ever be easy, things change as we grow, then we learn new words like responsibility, obligation, truth and false, liability and so on, growing up is a must, but growing is also optional if you get my drift.

Youth is a gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

You captured it perfectly.
As I look back at my life now...with parents dead and family/friends that have passed on...I find myself missing those days and people so much. You remember with bittersweet fondness, those days of carefree abandon, when you had the world at your feet and didn't know it. Great poem.

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you very much and yea we should all look back to how good we had it or who was it with and move on to have the same and not lock ourselves in our own thoughts thinking oh I wish if it was the same as it was, make it better now to have good nostalgic memories :)

[Stacy Purvis]

See things through the eyes of a child.
Age is only mind over matter.
I love this piece. Your writing is ever-improving. Thank you for sharing.

[Joey Nizz]

You are right, age is only mind over matter, your body grows but somethings in your heart and mind remain.
Thank you for reviewing, I appreciate it :)

[JessyJacob]

Not hurting, when its agreed age is mind over matter, isnt there any difference between, 15 days, 3years, I feel logic/thoughts needs to be appropriately applied, if you try to dig heart, looking to see mind, vice versa, you will never see what you are expecting, you just need to see in right way when you need right things.

People have lot of time nowadays, as if they aren't busy, but they complain as if they have no time for some.

I feel someone needs to keep quiet, atleast one remains happy, with positive(love for), its just not attitude, we will only be positive when we love some, positive attitude just doesnt come, even with a confused brain.

[Joey Nizz]

Always stay positive, I agree with that, that's why i always stay positive no matter what are the odds.

[JessyJacob]

Yes everyone needs their life being prior over others, made for each other, always have same attitude, then only they move together, though they are two sides of coin not facing each other, still become and called as Coin only not coins being having two different faces.

[Joey Nizz]

Well put, and yes I agree, in the end we are all the same, just like a coin, 2 different sides but still remains one coin.

[JessyJacob]

Nice!!!!!!!!

[matrixmark]

Another simple review for me.
Times of yesteryear. You have brought some very fond memories to the forefront of my mind.

Sometimes the most complicated of explanations or reviews can't compare to one single word. So I leave you with this one.

Happiness.

Thank you.
Mark.

[Joey Nizz]

Your welcome and thank you for your review and your thoughts.
And im glad you felt happy when reading this :)

[emmajoy]

You remind the reader of how it was to be young; how happy and natural life was. Children adventure and tempt life; explore and juggle with day-to-day happenings, learn lessons of how to be - not always quite obeying! You've listed so many examples - quite a spectrum too.

Some editing re' grammar and punctuation would be helpful in time Yes? But meantime, this was/is an enjoyable read. Thank you.

[Joey Nizz]

I agree, i should re read this and fix a few things, thanks for noticing and pointing it out.

[emmajoy]

Not meant to hurt only to help. Promise.

[Joey Nizz]

No hurt was here i always welcome help and thank you for helping me i really appreciate it, we all need help no matter how perfect we think we are, we still need help. and thank you for helping me! ^^

[JessyJacob]

I am not wondering, who stopped reading someone, I don think you need to reread. But yes you can fic things, dont need anybody's trash, i cant bear you doing that, then and now also.

[JessyJacob]

fix* corrected word.

[emmajoy]

Would you prefer that I delete my review, will willingly?

[Joey Nizz]

I fixed my writing, and no its ok don't delete anything. its fine :)

[emmajoy]

That's good, thought I'd offended you. Must dash..

[Joey Nizz]

lol nah you didn't, don't worry it's all good

[JessyJacob]

Drift can be overlooked by ignoring as immatured/youthful, I dont think one is that. But no one is old by age, still swimming in the ocean as man, sleeping in home as youthful kid. This should work for any individual.

No boundaries, All freedom, but one is fixed on one, LOVE, which ignores every mistake, becuase, it is also trust, that youthful kid never hurts anyone and never repeats mistake again. Loving. Still believe past was hurting me, till I came out from my shackles, though it was playful in the day, hurting in the night in a bone. To get freedom back to family and home, without hurting my responsibility of my saviours.

But to see sunrise of earth in somebody's eyes, waiting for the dawn. Unable to go home, as the dusk falling rapidly, getting shivering unable to stop the sun sinking, though Moon was coming and hugging us.
I really liked the lines how you described exactly, of past, sometimes it hurts to be soo detailed too looking back to past. Memory needs to be filtered, keeping precious moments, with their value in future, which makes path to happy future without hurting anybody.

[Joey Nizz]

I agree with your comment and thank you for saying it, i enjoyed what you wrote, and im glad you liked the writing :)

[JessyJacob]

Thank you, glad you agreed. Was missing it....

[Joey Nizz]

yeah it adds up, thanks for sharing, I will add it under your name.

[JessyJacob]

Not needed, I love my Don in home, both torturing me.

[Joey Nizz]

Alright then, thank you for your great comment then i appreciate it :)

[JessyJacob]

I dont want to forget, the pain we suffered, I just cant ignore the mistakes, who left us like anything, I want to be with people who really cared and loved us. This is my boundary and then it comes later after them, this is coming out of my heart, I know you too is same like me, as others who are in our boundary.

[JessyJacob]

Though innocently we have been, sorry, dont they know, from which roots they are born. Stop the other fiction, its hurting us.

[Joey Nizz]

These are some amazing words, well done.

[JessyJacob]

Thank you!
Everyone has their own value, for what they do, we just cant ignore anybody, without thinking of them, seeing inside, they do so much, they change fate, as Nothing is Impossible to them, my sole mantra for those who do good for thyself, and for others. I know Grace and mercy, but they need to be shown appropriately, if we show grace on who hurted us, they just keep on doing, we need to keep us safe and then teach them lesson, otherwise they feel they are supreme to them, until nobody points out their mistake.
If nobody is Guru, we become ourself as Guru, face the problem. We need to take care of ourself first, then only we can survive. If show courtesy on scorpion, it will inject poison in us only, it shows stupidity if we think, we should not kill that.
This is lesson from "Krishnam Vande Jagathgurum", for not being extra sensitive in this world, as Humans, a very powerful race on Earth.

-Jessy.

[Joey Nizz]

I agree with every word you have said here, people should learn from their mistakes to adapt or evolve, making the right decision isn't always enough, we have to make different decisions to learn new things as well.
The one that hurt us need to know the truth and for some need to be taught a lesson, so they would see the error of their ways and set a new course in doing the right thing.
And yeah i agree, nobodys a guru or anything like that, we have to become the guru or whatever our selves so we can show our self the way and others, and know what or who your showing curtsy too and like you said if you showed it to a scorion it'll sting you, thats why we need to learn about whatever we are showing curtsy too before showing it, or it will back fire on us!

Thank you again for your words.

[JessyJacob]

Thanking you, for thoughts syncing with you, seeing a hope where I will also win over arguments or debate.

[Joey Nizz]

Your welcome, Always come out a winner, weather its an argument, debate or whatever it is for, Being positive is one of the keys to being happy, if you are postive then things will go for your favor

[JessyJacob]

But i know, and you also agree that being positive also has limits. Ok and thank you.

[Joey Nizz]

Yup with that i also agree

[Najam Us Saher]

This story really made me agree with you on some points. When we were kids we wanted to grow up and when we grow up we want to be kids again. That's the truth. It is hard to accept life. I really liked it.

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you i'm glad you agree.

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes...You're welcome.
