Many would say that it is an addiction, but it made one of the happiest days of my life a reality. They call it "Social Media", I don't say I'm addicted to it, yet I'm sharing my experience online! I'm addicted!😋
Quite a few years ago, we were separated, I've missed her my entire life since. She found me, added me as her friend, we started loving each other's activities and finally one day, we talked on phone! Feels so good, like an achievement, an accomplishment!! Talked to my very loving, sweetest cousin, whom we lost because of my family's petty fights about materials and objects, putting all the love aside. We didn't just lost each other, but also the multitude of opportunities to make beautiful memories in the years to come!
What were we like? I can literally talk about this all day and still wouldn't get close to finish. A family of similar aged children, nothing but fun, grandma spoiling all of them, parents working so hard they didn't had time to bother about petty things.
On a regular day, on a scooter, our dad, early morning with 5 kids, heavy school bags hanging on the tire in the rear, driving us to the school, all chatter boxes, making sure everyone sees us. Laughter was just the one reaction from the people on the road, but the feeling of being together was the best feeling EVER! Yet again, meeting during the recess in the school and sharing lunch, playing, again the same ride back to home, eating and playing, little bit of studies and then off to neighboring playground to play with the rest of the kids in the community, chit-chat, chit-chat, was just a normal routine, life was bliss. I wish I could go back to have that kind of energy in me with all my cousins around again one day, to recreate just a regular day, I'd want to do anything for that!
Celebrations in the family were grand - marriages, birthdays, new born babies welcomed, religious/cultural get together to name a few - fun filled, like any other regular family would have, with one exception, ours was BIG! 14 similar aged cousins, remainder of family had kids small and big, still the part of the gang. I'm sure we were not making it easy to control us because of the very nature of the kids, PLAYFULL!! Everyone madly in love with each other!
I don't want to keep bragging about the childhood, I cherish it, love it, miss it, but getting back to the point again, I now have some connection back into my childhood memories! and here is my first real "Thank you" to the social media! Thank you!
For the closure, we're still not sure what happened during those days, but in a very short time span that I can remember, everything went upside down and kids were set apart. I wish this doesn't happen to anyone ever in this world!
Thank you, Shalini, for bringing this back into my life! Love you always!
