Vacation from school can be pretty depressing for me. Whenever we get a week or so off school most people make tons of plans. I just like to sit around and think, it is a theory of mine that if anyone thinks too mutch, they become horribly depressed, but the more depressed you become, the more you think, becoming more and more depressed. Whenever I become depressed I like reminisce about when I was a kid.
Being a little kid is quite possibly one of the best things that ever happened to me. I was always so unaware and happy. Even when I was bored I was ridiculously happy, I was actually probably most happy when I was bored. And the place I was most bored at was the park. My mom would take me there in the summertime, when she wanted me to play outside, but I never had any "fun" there. I would just lay in the grass and look at the clouds, I was so happy.
I decided that I would go the park to relive this memory, it was cold enough outside that I needed a jacket, not a heavy jacket though. I walked down the street out of my neighborhood, I was smileing very wide at my genius idea to go to the park. It took a little under ten minutes to walk there, it didn't look exactly the way it did when I was a kid, they took some things out and added newer things, like slides and stuff. I just walked around and looked at the kids playing, they were so happy. I knew that it was inevitable that they would eventualy grow up, they would grow up and become teenagers like me. They could become bullys, nerds, jocks, or even republicans. Going to the park proved to be a bad way to cheer myself up because i was soon even more depressed then before.
I sat down at and empty bench. I sat there for a while before I noticed a kid, not that mutch younger then me, swinging on the swings. Mostly because I didn't know him I walked up to the swingset and sat on the swing next to him. He didn't even seem to notice I was there, so I thought I would say somthing stupid to get his attention. "Good day for swingin'"
"Everyday is a good for swinging" he said.
"Now I am going to have to disagree with you about that, theres no way you could catch me swinging out here in the middle of December". He just noddded. "So you like swinging then?"
"Meh, it's somthing to do"
"Thats true, its better then just sitting around isn't it"
"It certainly is"
This kid was pretty cool, he had the right idea about things. Together we decided that swinging was far better then anything anyone else anywhere was doing. We also came to the conclusion that we were the two single smartest people in the world. We talked about how mutch we hated stuff, and we had very deep conversation about very mundane things. Once it started to get dark we stopped swinging, as we walked away, towards our homes he said "See you tomorrow". I laughed does he realy think I'm going to come back here tomorrow and swing all day? Well I don't see why I wouldn't.
