to be 10

To be 10 again would be a dream. Living my best life, like there was no tomorrow. I didnt think, didn't care, I just lived. Wishing I could go back to 10 but would I miss being 16? 16 is the age when you can start driving, become a junior in high school, and just have more responsibilities. But if I had a choice I would definitely go back to being 10.


I miss playing nerf gun wars, I miss not having to text someone and drive there to hangout. I miss Riding my bike around the neighborhood going to the door of my friends house to ask if they wanted to play. I miss all the ding dong ditching, I miss all the things we couldn't get in trouble for but now we can. I remember the neighborhood halloween parties, every year my friends hosted a halloween party for the whole neighborhood. It was as packed as a black friday store. Dressing up, playing football, and eating candy was all we had to worry about. We were basically free. Wishing when I was 10 that I could just drive around door to door trick or treating. But now I want it all back. I don’t want to have to drive, I want to run around with my friends and just live.


My brother Jamison goes to Alabama for college. It was very hard to watch him leave. Me and my brother grew very close over this past year and now he's gone. To be 10 again I have all the time in the world with him. I don't get to see him much. Only on the holidays but do I miss him. If I were 10 he would be 12. We could mess around and just be brothers. Jamo is my inspiration and has been since I have been little and just want to be able to spend time with him again.
