This is going to be a very emotional post. This is a post in a writing prompt blog hop called, Behind The Blogger. This week’s prompt is “Dear Childhood Me”. We are to interpret every prompt in our own way, as long as we use the words in the prompt. This is going to be a letter to my childhood self. I didn’t have a very good childhood. I’ve opened up about my childhood a few times on my blog, but never have I given you a peek into how I view my “childhood self”.

You make me smile when you look at me that way. It stops me in my tracks, losing the words I was about to say. You make me smile with those big beautiful eyes. They are more mesmerizing than a deserted, country, midnight sky. You make me smile when you tell me you love me out of the blue. It feels like there’s nobody left in the world, but me and you.

Let me set the scene. It’s date night. Every week or month you have a specific night dedicated to keeping the romance alive with your partner/spouse. Most of you would look at me funny if I said that you should go on a weekly date with your significant other. You would say that you can’t afford it. You would say that you don’t have time. You have to pay for dinner and the activity. You have to pay for gas and a babysitter. That’s if you can find one. The expenses rack up and sometimes, while important, the idea of a date night just seems out farfetched. There are ways to have cute lazy dates in your home without spending a ton of money. Now does that sound like something that’s within your reach?

I’ve never considered myself a feminist. I believe in fair, respectable, and equal rights for everyone – men and women of every race and religion. As much as I hate to believe it, women are objectified every single day. I’ve been there before. I deal with it on a regular basis. Let’s discuss women objectification.

Remembers those dreams that you once had before life got in the way? Remember the activities you did that made your day a little bit better? You know, the stuff you did before responsibilities and routines took every minute of your life. But wait. Did it really take over every minute?

Dear 2015 Me,

It’s been a whirlwind of a year. Honestly, that’s nothing new. Every year is a rollercoaster. I blame my wild, crazy, unapologetic emotions for that. Every year I look back and I see how far I’ve come, how much I’ve matured. Sometimes I look back to months ago and wonder what the hell I was thinking.

I’m a simple gal. You don’t need to spend a lot on me for me to appreciate something. I will wear a $2 dress if it looks cute and if it’s good quality. That’s why when I shop online, I only buy at a bargain. I cannot justify paying $100 for one piece of clothing when I can get something similar for a quarter of that price. I am currently obsessed with boots and dresses – both are typically overpriced. While on the hunt for something stylish and affordable I found Ami Clubwear.
