The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Through the eyes of a child....
At work, we all had a random discussion about our childhood. Some answered how great they had it; how they wished they could go back. Other answered how tough it was for them and how amazed they are of how great of a person they've become and what they accomplished. Well, I asked them and am asking you guys.....
As the child you once were, what would he/she think of the adult you have become?
The awkward think about it is that one of my coworkers told me "That was a great question Cheila, but you should answer it, what do you think?." I have yet to come with an answer since we all go through our ups and downs and done stupid thing in our lives. I really don't know what the child I once was would think of me now. Guess that's something I have to ponder on and will get back to you with.
But the point here is I would like to see what your responses will be. :)

I think the child that I was would be pleased that I am no longer purposefully destroying my dresser set with a graphite golf club, but the child that I was would be profoundly disappointed that I do not own a classic VW Beetle, painted like the Love Bug.

Little girl Sarah would totally be a fan of grown-up Sarah, although she'd be a little annoyed that I've decided to forgo the life of a fairy princess ballerina in favour of a career in journalism. Fortunately I could distract/soothe her by letting her try on all of my jewelry.

i try. :)
the problem is, little Phylly never saw life past college. It was always what she saw when she pictured herself as an adult. So i guess she would like that I went to college, but she probably wouldn't know what to make of me now.

Yeah, but I know she would be admiring that you did go. Even though she did not picture it. :)

My childhood self would be happy I believe. I had pretty simple ideas for myself. I didn't want to be some idiot who smoked, drank every day, or did drugs. Check! I wanted to be ladylike not cheap. Check. Be married w/o just settling for someone to take care of me. Check! I wanted to have kids who know that I love them. Check. I didn't really have the typical I wanna be a ballerina dreams. It was all pretty basic for me. I think I'm doing pretty well. At least on the things I remember wanting.

I think the child me would be proud of what I've accomplished. The child me could never picture me on my own, with a job, a vehicle, an apartment, and certaintly not a husband! I use to try to picture me at the ripe old age of 18 and could never do it. But she would be disappointed I didn't become an artist or an architect...

Don't worry, like you said. You've accomplished a lot of things the child you were back then, didn't even imagine. :)

Interesting question! I would like to think that little Megs, would be pretty happy to know that I'm doing pretty well! I have gotten to travel to a ton of places, which was always little Megs dream (and big Megs, who am I kidding?), and I think I've turned out to be a pretty decent person! Although...I definitely haven't done all the things I thought I would have done by the age of 25. I do know that little me would not be impressed that I haven't written a book yet! I'm working on it!
