I looked at the field, the boys playing, and the sky, and suddenly, memories flooded back. It has been 15 years...
I went to watch a football match in my community today, and the feeling was nostalgic.
It reminded me of who I used to be, a carefree boy without responsibilities or worries because my parents had me covered. They did all the worrying and took care of all the responsibilities. I had all the time in the world to play.
How time flies.
Watching those boys play today gave me goosebumps. I remembered my days on the pitch and how football was my favorite hobby. Then I asked myself again: Will I still be able to perform like I used to? Can I still run around the whole field without losing my breath?
I watched those boys with vigor, their strength, and their endless pursuit of the ball. I am curious to see how I would perform today, so I might play someday. But first, I need to keep going there and understand how things work.
They hosted a competition, and there was a prize to be won, so many people came out to watch.
After the match was over, on my way home, I asked myself a question:
Did the world really change, or are we the ones who changed?
To me, it seems it is us who changed.
We grew older. We became adults and no longer had time for the things that made us happy while growing up.
Responsibilities have choked us to the point where we feel the only thing we came into this world to do is work and earn money to keep our families and ourselves afloat.
In some years, those boys will also look back, just like I did today, and realize that their best days are gone, and all that is left is work, work, and more work without rest.
Do I miss those days?
Yes.
God bless our parents.
They did all the worrying and carried all the responsibilities we did not even realize existed. They made sure we were fed, even when they sometimes went to bed hungry.
They were our superheroes.
