miss the security & comfort i had a long time ago when i was a child
in the 1980s where i grew up? i now have lived alone 20 years in a little flat and are on my own now, no friends, in my late 40s, my only support my wonderful elderly mother who lives far away...my mum phones me 4x a day.
i had a wonderful childhood though and i remember being at home with my mum who spoiled me and over mothered me, i'm the only son...and my mum made sure i had everything i wanted, i remember when my mum used to say to me '' aww son, do yer want me to make you some poached eggs on toast with a nice hot cup of tea? ' and my mother was a magical mum and made me feel so safe, happy and secure and comforted......i loved lego and she always got me the latest lego set, the medieval knights, or the pirate lego sets.....and just made my home life a very happy one, i loved the tv back in the 80s, their was lots of choice for children, the music was brilliant and euphoric, the soundtracks to my life, i had all my friends outside on the street we lived on, we lived on a little cul-de-sac with oak trees along the street, lovely neighbours who we were all familiar with and knew by name.
now, in the present, all that has gone, it was a long time ago, but i miss what i had then, the security, the certainty, the comfort - now it's a completely different world, with people who surround me who have very different mentalities from me, i still live in the past, to my era ( the 80s) and to even further back to my parents time, i feel more akin to my mums generation , to the boomers....thats why i find the times now so difficult to adjust to.
any thoughts??
