Thinking about my childhood right now is bringing back a lot of memories into my mind, the kind of fun activities I engaged in "I wish I could go back to those days" Unfortunately I can't go back, in this life game of growing up "we aren't allowed to go back, its more like a forward ever ride" I've missed my childhood so much, growing up I felt like being an adult was gonna be more fun compared to being a child "like I couldn't wait to be an adult" but currently the adult me is trying to rephrase that statement to suit myself.
No doubt childhood has a significant impact on our lives, and no wonder everyone aside from me, "I'm included," is missing their childhood and the memories they had and shared with family; those memories can be cherished forever. As children we were never bothered about anything like work, or stress "though house chores were a little stressful" But then we got to live life to the fullest without worrying about what to eat or even clothes to wear, we were just there occupying space in an apartment that they don't pay rent "enjoying the benefits of being an offspring".
One thing that can't be forgotten is the charm that is accompanied by childhood, the fun activities we engaged in, but then, even as children growing up, we weren't allowed to participate in certain activities. One activity I was deprived of as a child was playing in the rain, whenever it rained my mum would lock the door leading to the living room and say "Nobody leaves" so I didn't play under the rain "That experience is one I didn't get" and I don't miss that particular one.

As a child I was interested in learning how to sing, back in the children's department I can remember vividly when I used to join the children's choir in church "I was a good singer then" where I would join the children and sing different kind of songs "I loved those moments" I felt so proud of myself whenever I was singing, at some point singing became my passion but something happened that made me stop.
I did not stop singing entirely, though, so after a while, my mum stopped me from going to rehearsals because it closed very late, our rule in the house was "never stay out late", and my mum wasn't comfortable with the whole thing again and asked me to stop going to my rehearsals.
Little story: Recently, in my place of work, we normally have morning devotions, so the singing aspect of it started, and I was among those who were singing. After we were done with the devotion, I was walking downstairs back to my office when my colleague tapped me and said "Tari don't sing again" I was shocked and asked why, and he said " Tari, you were singing off" he didn't end there, he continued and was like " at some point I got confused with the whole song". I'm not gonna call myself someone who knows how to sing because whenever I sing, the people around me would be like, "Tari, don't start".
All these negative feedbacks from people whenever I sing don't get to me "It does a little" but then I don't take it to heart. So whenever I'm in a public place, what I normally do "is sing with a very low tone in order not to confuse people." Hehe!!!.
