Day 4, Childhood Memories

Things that should be carefree and happy. Things remembered from long ago. And yet, when I look back on them hardly anything is there. What is there is hardly happy and carefree. It seems like it should fit into some kind of horror movie with a low budget and a horrible director. Nothing was happy, nothing bright and cheery. So full of worry and sadness. The only good that seems to be there is an understanding that does not fit a child's mind. An understanding that this is how life is, how it always will be. This world isn't full of happiness and carefree days like childhood memories dictate. This world is full of sadness and disappointment. I wish I could say that childhood memories were how the world is, that just isn't true. The memories, though, that most people have, that is how the world should be. It should be happy, carefree, honest, and full of the fairness we were taught.
