The period in everyone's life that returns when they want it to return and yet it's not the same.
It's that moment when all inhibitions are lost, when envy was a word that didn't exist. A time when we didn't have our separate lives, and you and I were the same entity. A time where a moment of happiness lasted for days, and a moment of despair lasted a few seconds. No boundaries, no ropes that could bind us, apart from an odd scolding or two. An era that one wishes he/she never leaves, a time everyone wants back. Somewhere along the lines of growing up, childhood is a preserved toy that you seem to forget where you kept it.
Why this sudden epiphany, you ask? I stumbled upon a video of one of my most revered cartoons, The Rugrats. I remember the time when my sister and I would glue ourselves in front of our telly towaste spend our leisure time. As they say, time isn't wasted if you had fun wasting it. Though now the popular belief is that time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted. <-- Fail in my opinion.
I remember the numerous occasions when the two siblings used to fight over what channel to watch. Though the reason of the fight is still the same, but yet it's different. For earlier, the fight would resolved as soon as it started, and now it's never ending. We're drifting from what we started, so I shall try restoring normality again. Childhood is not merely a word, neither is it just something someone would mention in passing. It is an emotion that gives you a high and activates your Serotonin and Melatonin depending on the time of the day.
THIS you need to watch. And then watch the relating videos. And then you need to watch the recommended videos.
Lately a lot of blogs or posts on the net are bringing the 'actual' concept of the cartoon. For example, those familiar with The Rugrats see it as show full of adventures the babies in the show go through. But a recent article I read had the caption 'Childhood ruined' and says that the show is a figment of Angelica's imagination, Chucky died a long time ago and hence Chaz is a nervous wreck all the time. Tommy was a stillborn and hence Stu is constantly in the basement making toys for a son who never lived and The DeVilles had an abortion, and hence Angelica couldn't decide whether the child was a boy or a girl and hence created twins. Childhood truly ruined.
