childhood argument.

Laing's theory on childhood is that it is disregarded since people do not pay attention to their own experiences. When at that stage, people do not cherish the moments until they are much older, if then even.

When I share a childhood memory, the emotions I feel are a mixture of feeling distant and closer to myself. Perhaps the distant part of the feeling just comes with it being a memory. I don't believe you are supposed to feel closer at heart with memories or else it wouldn't be called a memory! I also feel satisfied because that memory belongs to me and nobody else.

my friends and I had sleepovers/slumber parties in elementary school. i would take the stools from the kitchen and set them so it's in the form of a roundish square and then drape a huge blanket over them...blahblah to be continued.

When I was compiling pictures for my childhood project, a bunch of memories came into my mind. I'm glad we have something in our time to capture moments. Sharing and looking at friend's storis and pictures really made me regret not cherishing my childhood. i remember telling everyone how i couldn't wait to be a teenager.

i think school definitely has an effect on your childhood hence it shapes you into the person you are because you spend the majority of your childhood there. i imagine emotions are very important since they make up somebody's personality and i'd think you'd be in a rut if you don't express yourself. i don't think they are necessary to survive but if you want to be happy, you need to express yourself.
