Life is perfectly fine. People are enjoying stuff from different perceptions and as time goes by, too much value for what it looks like on the outside are being revealed.

By the way, my name is Greg, a normal guy in the city who is fighting for his success.

Back when I was a child, life seems to be perfect. Everything that I've imagined were perfectly synchronize from what I'm seeing.

It's like a dancer responding to a song and representing the emotion of the music. It always feels good to enjoy the joy of life to the fullest.

Playing outside, watching cartoons,eating desserts and enjoying weird stuff, but experiencing childhood in the province is quite different.

I grew up in a small island where I always enjoyed the beauty of the sea. The waves, fishes, and even wildlife creatures are quite amazing.

Growing up with the nature is a lot of fun. Playing at a rice field, spending hours catching fish, hunting spiders at the forest and also enjoying fruits
freshly picked from the trees.

After a long day of playing, I'll go home with a great new story to tell so people can always remember it  to keep and save it. I'm scared that one day I might forget the memories. Jeez, I never want to delete this happy memories out of my brain.

I will tell them how amazing my day was. I'm pretty dirty when im about to go home after a long playing and sometimes wounds are my best buddy. The scars on my knees are the greatest evidence that I've enjoyed my childhood life.

Sometimes my mother will pick me up at the court with a hanger or a broom with such an evil smile. She always says that she will just gonna scold me and the beat up will never gonna happen but that is the biggest lie I've ever heard from her.

In a few seconds of running toward home and avoid getting near to her, her few steps will be fast as lightning and the first blow will land nothing else but on my small body. The pain and crying are in there but i have no choice so i keep running home and hide behind my grandmother and tell her to protect me from her as a child.

That was a horrible experience but it is odd that i gain something from it. She is  always angry but i understand that she is just being protective and also she's giving me the best experience of living as a child because i have asthma before and im always sick so there's a lot of things that i can't do . But the sickness will never stop me from enjoying my childhood.

Years passed, a lot of realizations are in front of me and also it is sad that my childhood is about to end because I just finish my midschool and in few months I'll be a highschool student.

Life was perfect as I expected and nothing seems weird but I always felt that something inside me was missing. There is always a hole inside my heart that can't be fill. Im quite curious what is the missing piece I've been looking for as a kid and at this age longing for it is always happening.

I mean I'm having a great life why is there something inside me that I always felt missing? I need to know.
