Just one of those nights for randomness

Today I was thinking about things from a past tense, moments that I’ve shared with people and the little things I kept close to me all these years later. Those simple things that people would put no thought into me having. Birthday cards with simple notes inside, a movie ticket from a first date, so many little messages.

They are the things from my childhood that I look back on that make me smile.

I remember going to the movies with a boy I was dating at the time and I remember being so nervous because it was my first real date. I had no clue on how I was suppose to act or what was suppose to happen. I remember sitting next to him and looking over hoping he wouldn’t see me watching him. I remember his smile and how nervous I was thinking he could hear how loud my heart was beating when he kissed me. So because the night was something special to me as kid I kept the movie ticket.

I have a book that a lot of my friends  wrote in when I moved and of course I kept that because the messages make me laugh. Looking back on them reminds me of all the things we got into and did as a group. Oh the childhood drama and silly things. I don’t think I would want to go back to that but the memories make me laugh.

I still have one of my homecoming dresses and I still have my prom dress. I don’t know what my reasoning for actually keeping them was but I like the memories that come with them. I had gone to prom with a friend because I didn’t go to a public school and he didn’t want me to miss out. I had the best time and it was such a good night. Those memories I will always hold close because not only was my date one of my good friends but my best friend at the time ended up coming as well with her boyfriend at the time.

I kept a medical bracelet from a hospital visit I had when I was in Florida with my step dad because I was having issues with my neck and it ended up being way more than it needed to be because of a miscommunication on my mothers part. All and all though everything turned out just fine. The bracelet was a reminder of my step dad being so caring and that was something my mother and father weren’t the best at.

I kept plane tickets from when my younger sister and I flew to Florida to be with our mother and older sister when they lived down there. Her and I had the best time in the airport and we ended up buying matching shirts on the way back home. Its funny because years later we ended up taking a picture in those same shirts because we had them on at the same time.

I have so many other things I’ve kept but I think I’ve rambled on enough for tonight.
