nostalgia will surely kill me. i can't help but cry when i think about all the jokes that my grandpa used to tell me, how i saved all those glittery stickers for special occasions that never came, how i fought with my sisters to see who would marry ken when we played with barbies, or how we pretended to be a family - where i was always the father... those kinds of memories, of those moments that seemed ordinary to us, are what make me miss my younger self. that little girl, who wanted so badly her room walls painted in bright pink, who always asked santa for a princess dress, whose only concern was learning the eight times table and who danced for her parents so they would let her stay at her cousin's house. how contradictory it is to say that this girl only wanted to grow up, yet now she only wants to go back to playing with her dolls after school. as a tear runs down my cheek, i send a message to that little girl: never stop smiling, playing and enjoying the little moments, and don't forget to give grandpa lots of hugs, because you never know when you'll see him for the last time. i love you. - m⭒ ⭒ song: slipping through my fingers - abba #nostalgia #watahai #abba #teddybear #teddy #sad #poetry #gracieabrams
