Parents

We have all heard it over and over again: that time flies. But it's still odd to think that we were once kids who were on playgrounds and could one day be watching our own kids as they swing. And sometimes I think about how crazy it is how much my future children won't know about my life before them.

Don't you ever wonder what your mom or dad was like when they were younger? Sometimes it's almost impossible to imagine them at our age - to imagine them dealing with problems that we face or having feelings that mirror our own. It's easy to forget that our parent had to take the path in growing up where they face problems and felt misunderstood and lost. 

And it makes me wonder, how my kids will see me one day. Sure they will hear the stories and may even find those blogs I had that stood the test of time - but they will never know all the secrets that were kept, all the drama we faced, all the sadness that consumed us, and all the people who defined us. I wonder if they might one day feel misunderstood; a feeling most kids know all to well. It's weird to think our parents had to deal with finding their way in life love and themselves - just like we are - and just like how our kids will one day.
