What about back then?

Before depression, anxiety, work, love and all that settles into our lives there was a time. It's a very special time that many of us wish we could travel back to and relive or maybe just get a second chance at. Childhood. Even to me at only 22 years old it seems like a life time ago. Where the only thing that mattered to me was Saturday cartoons and getting the newest barbie doll. My life now is full of priorities, I'm a wife a mother and sometimes they seem so overwhelming. I look at my son and wonder if he knows how good he has it.
I miss the days when things were easy. Summers were spent eating Popsicle and sitting in the sandbox. Back then mom would make us a lunch of sandwiches with a tall glass of milk. Daddy would let us stay up late and watch Jay Leno and whatever else we wanted. He's try and read us a story to put us to sleep but we'd usually end up reading him to sleep instead. Life back then was easy. The only complicated relationship I had was the one that I made up between barbie and Ken. In the end like in most stories they ended up happily ever after. It's no like that in real life. It never is.
There are just times I wish I could go back... and relive just a moment of it all over again.
