My life then and now
My childhood compared to my life now, I realize how much has changed in both the things that I enjoy and the responsibilities I carry. As a child, my world was filled with adventure, free from the problems of adulthood. In contrast, as a teenager, I have become more focused on responsibilities, yet I still find time for the things that bring me joy.
When I was a kid, trips like going to the beach with my family were one of my favorite times. I would run around with my cousins, playing in the water, collecting seashells, and making sandcastles. The beach was a place where we could forget time and simply enjoy each other’s company. Now, although I still go to the beach with my family to celebrate birthdays and special moments, I no longer spend my entire day playing in the sand. Instead, I help with the preparations, like carrying heavy items and setting up. While the fun is still there, my life changed from a carefree child to someone who helps out.
Similarly, going to the mall with my father used to be an exciting outing. I would hold his hand, excited to look at toys and sometimes pick out a toy. Those things made me feel loved and special. Nowadays, I don’t visit the mall for toys, but I still enjoy spending time with my father, even if the activities are different. Now, I help out at home with chores like cooking, laundry, which has replaced some of the things I once enjoyed.
The memories of my childhood and the reality of my teenage years reflect a shift from carefree enjoyment to responsibilities. Although my activities have changed, the connection with my family and the love we share is still there. Both phases of my life have their special moments, and they each contribute to who I am today.
