Memories

It was strange seeing my room slowly start to disappear. But, I thought, I'll see it all again in Sydney. The thought of going to a new place just felt like...like the weights I'd been holding onto are finally off my shoulders. I had the rest of the week off, and the school were fine with it because they had to remove me from their system, anyway. So I took advantage of the opportunity to relive some good memories of home. Just looking around brought back so much. I remembered the one summer when me and my mum went to a beach in Sydney. It was probably the best summer of my life, because no-one from school were there to embarrass me in front of people I didn't even know.  And it was my birthday.Suddenly, a memory of the time came into my mind.

"Mum! Mum! Look at me! I'm swimming!" I said. My mum looked over and replied:

"Wow, Luke! You really are swimming! Woah, your even better than all the Olympians put together. I bet you could win a medal in the Olympics!"

I was swimming in the crystal blue ocean, and at that point in my life, I'd wanted to be an Olympian in swimming. I could never do that now...

A half hour later, when I was cold, blue and shivering, my mum handed me a towel and my bag to get changed in the shacks. I put on some brown knee-length shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with Ray-bans and sandals. I thought we were going home and I bitterly protested, but my mum explained that we were going to the pier to go on the rides. She paid for us to enter and I dragged her over to the carousel. I actually found a horse named Luke and got on it. I found it quite boring when it went slow, and got more excited when it sped up. I was very dizzy when I came off. I also went on the

Helter-skelter

Bumper-cars

Ferris wheel

and Tubs of Fun.

I also went to ALL the game booths. You see, when I was younger, I was quite skilled at carnival games, so when I'd been to all of them.....I looked like I'd bathed in glue and ran through a toy store white it was still wet. I looked comical. Mum took a photo of me to show me what I looked like, and she put it on Facebook! Before we went home, me and my mum got ice cream. She had strawberry, I had chocolate. Since we went because it was my birthday, there was also a party at home...

Wow. I still remember it. I guess when you have a good memory, it just sticks and it's hard to forget it.

I used to feel like if I believed in myself, I can do anything. That was wrong. Everyone else can do it, but I can't. I'm such a disappointment to everyone. Some show it, some don't. My mum says I don't disappoint her, but I think she's just saying that to keep me alive. I know I'm a screwup. I know that because I am told it every day of my life.
