Childhood

When I was younger , well, when we were all younger! We grew up having a prefect image of a beautiful no-hate all peace world. In reality as we get older we loose sight of all of this. How many times have you saw something, that has given you a flash of your childhood, or a sense of deja vu!?
What I mean is as we get older we forget, or we 'move on'. In my eyes its because we want to forget. In everyone's childhood and life including mine has had something happen nearly horrible enough to be considered traumatizing. Where it could be divorce and if you pass by a restaurant you used to go to with the family together and you get shivers or look away to even that one song that brings tears to your eyes.
I believe that the only way to hold onto humanity to hold onto a part of yourself truly is keeping your childhood alive. Believing and hoping. Loving and smiling, laughing away happily. Watching Disney princess's movies or even pretending to be a spy. In the end you don't regret anything and it'll appear in your mind though and you won't be able to forget it, in a way it lives in you. You used to believe in Love at first sight and true loves first kiss, a beautiful princess or prince charming coming to the rescue, just for you. But when you wake up and smell the coffee...
There is no prince charming or beautiful princess. Your thoughts go blank, you either forget, or learn to ignore your inner child. That in the end is right. You didn't have fear back then and now you do. Emotional or Physical its there. We believed nothing could hurt us but make believe animals and beasts.
Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Fairies, far off kingdoms, Dragons and secrets. <3
We were right though because Santa Claus exists he's that one man you see smiling everyday at the bus stop , the mysterious one everyone tries to figure out but gives up in, The tooth fairy she;s the one you talk to everyday, your best friend who'd do anything for you even go under a pillow and give you what you want , in this case , its hope.
Our childhood lives on as we go on with our lives but it matters. It matters because, how will you understand your children, if you forget your emotions when you were there age? Or even how are you gonna have hope in life and be happy? Are you going to lie to yourself? Lie to everyone?
