When do things start slipping from our mind?
I'm 18 and half of my childhood slipped long ago.
I remember her bright eyes.
I remember Mr. Okey
I remember his warm smile.
I remember 4 square.
I remember loud laughs and full belly's.
I remember the scraps and cuts that were more valuable than gold.
I remember my last day.
I remember fresh watermelon.
I remember puppy breath and soft kisses.
I remember DC's and how cool I thought I was for owning them.
I remember being afraid of getting my first bra.
I remember thinking everyone was kind.
I remember when boys were finally cured from the cooties.
I wish boys wouldn't have been.
As I try to remember things are still slowly slipping. Falling from my mind and becoming pocket lint.
As I search my jeans I find so many memories.
My 6th kiss.
The second day of high school.
My 9th time at space camp.
All our old inside jokes
How insecure I was
How beautiful my sister was
Notes about my first crush
How excited I was to get my drivers license
My second flight on an airplane
Peeta Mellark
The first time I held hands
The first day without recess
How it felt to have braces
How far 20 seemed.
My obsession with the Jonas Brothers
How far 20 seemed.
Maybe I'll never throw my jeans away again.
"Peeta Mellark" haha.
