I always wanted to be a famous writer whose books/novels were SO good that they get turned into movies and Spanish soap operas. lol

I still have the fantasy sometime...

To grow up big, strong, brave and loved. 2 out of 4 isn't bad, I suppose.

When I was a kid I wanted to discover the world. Now I am old I realize that I have only some input of what really is going on.

When I was a kid I want gameboy so I can play pokemon games. Turns out I play it on PC. Simple isnt, well what did you expect, Im just a kid back then, dont care about the world or something. Just playing and have fun.

I wanted to be an explorer. Thinking about it now, I kinda have been in a way.

Simple is a nice word and sounds sweet. It is good you felt that way, because it indicates that you felt safe and safety is important for a child. I felt safe too, because I had loving parents. But life was so different in those days. There was no television and we didn’t have a radio or telephone. My world was my home town (and actually only a small part of it). I was born just after World War two. Life was soaked with stories about the war. When I was three or four I went with my mother (she was German) by train to Germany. It was an incredible adventure for me. First the mighty steam train, than the border with several doents and dangerous looking soldiers. We went to Oberhausen in the Ruhrgebiet. It took several hours to do the eighty miles. In Oberhausen we took the Strassenbahn. Everywhere you saw ruins and burnt houses. We also visited my aunt, who lived in a partly burned and bombed house. I felt as if I was discovering the world and actually saw what all the stories I heard about on birthday parties really meant. I didn’t feel fear, but adventure. In my days you couldn’t see the world by simply switching on the television. It is amazing that after all those years I really see and feel all the details when I think about them.

@Tjerk : Im sorry if you feel offended by what I say before. It just spontaneously. I guess I have to watch my hands when typing something lol. And true, not all kid had a safety and loving environment, I just being egoist.

Hi love,
your words did not offend me in any way. They touched me and opened my eyes. My retirement made it possible to leave the Highway of Life that sucks all attention. I am easy now and able to look at life from different angles. It feels good to see that safety is not an issue anymore (in our countries). Things have improved and that’s good. Being old offers you the same luxury as kids have, to think open minded end be curious. It is even better, because it serves no goal; it is not training for future skills, so you feel no pressure. My life will disappear into nothing, the reverse way as it appeared from nothing. And in between there is an amazing experience. I enjoy every split second of it. Material assets lose their value when you get old. My car is sixteen years old, my television and my computer are more than ten years old, I have no mobile phone and even my clothes are rejects of my boys. The only real values are my feelings and my mind. The internet is a miracle. It makes it possible to share feelings with people you don’t know and wouldn’t be within reach without it.
A big hug,
Tjerk.
