I'm sitting here at 2:10 am listening to an old audio cassette that was labeled "Christmas 1979" that I had found in a box.
I put it on and immediately heard both my Mom and Dad talking to a very young child... me! Christmas 1979... I was only 2 then and we were living near Oxford, England in a small village called Souldern.
It's very weird to hear myself as a toddler, laughing and giggling as I opened my presents. Every time I would open a new present, whether it was a talking Big Bird or a Snoopy stuffed-animal, I would let out this delightful scream.
Though it was just an audio tape, it was very surreal and I could myself back then. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to those times and relive my life without making the mistakes I've made? I think so |
