I played tennis with my brother earlier today, or yesterday, technically, since it's now past midnight. I stopped for a while and the silence, or rather the absence of talking and the sound of bouncing tennis balls and the sound of the wind through the trees and the crickets made me remember the many parks I have been in as a kid. I remember the free tennis lessons every Saturday at this one park, and the other parks that we used to go to just to play tennis, since there wasn't a court in our neighborhood. So much has changed since then. It's kind of sad how fast life goes by and how things have to change. But I don't dwell on it, because it makes me sad to think about it. I'm not a kid anymore.
I remember when I was younger and my dad would take us to the park and do laps around the 1/4 mile track on our bikes for "physical education". We were home schooled for most of elementary school. We did aerobics in our living room, and laps in the backyard. He taught us how to play soccer. We had swimming lessons and karate lessons and piano and violin lessons, played basketball in the community center gyms. I met my best friend in grade 5 in a community center gym, playing basketball. We lost contact after I moved.
It's not being a kid I miss, it's just that it's....it's hard to explain, but I 'm sure everyone knows the feeling of missing a time in your life that is gone forever and that you can't ever get back.
