White dog poo

Seriously though I hate nostalgia, always makes me very sad to think I'll never be that happy and carefree again. When you are 5 - 10/11 years old everything was so easy ,your only worries where what your mum was going to pack in your lunch and whether or not your mate would bring in that sticker for swapsies. No deadlines, no tests, no achievments needed other than being the fastest runner or best pogger.

God I hate being grown up

 

[highland fox]

I think I'm the only person who never keeps stuff from the past.I destroy or get rid of stuff,never look back always too upsetting.

I'm terrible, I really should learn to let go, but I had a reallly happy childhood (never learnt owt on holiday though :icon_wink ) and find it really hard to let go of stuff, even soppy stuff from the missus when we met.

If I keep stuff and look back it just upsets me so I clear it out of my life.
''I can't look back,I close my eyes to it all''...Omerta that
