When I was 5 I said I loved strawberry ice cream, but not in a cone just a cup.
When I was 6 I started to like chocolate ice cream I thought strawberry was bad I hated that I used to love it.
When I was 7 we set our pool up for the first time, kids from all over the street came and swam, I loved swimming I love the pool.
When I was 8 I got in trouble for my shirt being to revealing it was a razor back singlet with a mickey mouse design on it, the straps were three fingers wide, I didn't see a problem with it my teacher did.
When I was 9 I got my second cat "precious" we renamed her KitKat because she was the colors of the chocolate, she was a big cat; part mancoon. She had long fur and she would sleep on my lap, I gave her a purple paw print collar with a pink bell, she hated it, it would scare off the birds.
When I was 10 I moved from my childhood home to here, rotorua. I thought it smelt weird but I got to spend every day with my two favorite cousins, we always had fun together. I was 10 when I met my best friend sierra we're still inseparable we sit together at school and text any other time.
When I was 11 I held a boys hand for the first time I still think of him from time to time. When I was 11 I was friends with the boys in my class people would judge me for that but I didn't care.
When I was 12 I stopped hanging out with boys except for one, he was nice and didn't judge people for being themselves, we don't talk anymore I kept the photos of us on my phone to remember one of my closest friends.
When I was 13 I got in trouble for my shirt being revealing except I wore it outside of school and a teacher saw me, the next day I was told that the reason grown men look at me was because "I dress like a 30 year old" and that I should stop. At 13 I felt 8 again like I was being told off for something that I shouldn't be in trouble for, I still think of that every time I go to put on a singlet I never wear them now I used to I used to love them.
Slowly the years got faster I couldn't grasp onto the concept of time I wanted to stay 5 forever, I miss eating Ice cream I miss being me I miss wearing and being who I want.
