What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger?
Back then when I was still a teenager, we didn’t own a tv. So I loved to stay out late at the neighbour’s watching TV and catching up with my friends. In fact one night a community security personnel escorted me home. My mother was really mad she had to punish me. She had no idea I was out. It was way late past midnight. My mother always wanted me to be home earlier than 8:00pm. She hated it when I came back home late and she had to scold me or something like that. She always warned us about the dangers of being out late but we always thought to ourselves, ” why so much fuss?”
Surprisingly, now that I’m old, independent and live in a home of my own, I stay home almost all day and I can count the number of times I’m home past 7pm. In fact I really hate being out late in the night. I now know the danger and the evil that lurks in the dark.
As for the tv I loved to watch all day all night long, I hardly ever watch it. So it’s funny how the things we once loved or hated so much can turn out to be the total opposites.
