I'm sure most of you have heard or seen the movie the Sandlot. I was watching today as I am recuperating from this cold that kicked my ass last night. Anyway, as I was watching it I was bombarded by a bunch of thoughts. Like what happened to that innocence/childhood and when and where was it lost. Remembering those old friend that had such an impact in your life either for positive or negative. What happened to those dreams that made everything seem so magical and why we stopped perusing them. And what happens when you go toe to toe with the best.
Now, I sure as hell not getting any younger and life has a way of creeping up and leaving you in the dust before you become aware what just happened. So I did some reflection today, as for my childhood, well lets say I had to take the roll of the oldest quite early in life and to mature early sort to speak and went trough things that most kids shouldn't. But it is what it is, but one thing that I did gain from it is that it molded in the man I have becoming and becoming, sure I have my moments of immaturity and childlessness but I can't be serious all the time now can I, even though that is one of the first impression I give to most people but what evs. Even though its still hard, I still have and make dreams that I want them to become a reality, but as we grow up we tend to fall into comfort zones and routines that in the end feel monotones at times. So at times doing something out of the blue and have fun and letting go is not only rejuvenating but brings that spark that gets snuffed out by becoming and adult.But we must always preserve some small part of our childhood and dreams because its those dreams and goals that get us trough the tough times. But what is harder at times is making those dreams come true, that is the true challenge there
As for the friends that come and go into our lives, the important ones will always leave some sort of mark, either a new style of music/movie even style taste. I think it happens for a reason and happen when you need them in your life and vise versa. I can say I have a few that I wish I still kept in touch, but like I said it happens when it needs to.
Now I thought the 'beast' part of the movie was symbolic in our lives, we all have our inner demons that scare us and blind us for chasing those dreams. Its the unknown that truly scares us, the uncertainty of doing something new or trying something new. And like how it used to be when you were a kid, once you face those fears you see that it was not that dark, creepy or scary after all. Anyway that is all for now, still not sure about this blogging stuff, but its fun. Now I don't know who is out there and reading this, but if you feel like commenting either to keep going or stop go for it and I'll keep it under consideration.
