Last night, I reminisced about Nickelodeon.
For more than a decade of my life, I grew up with the channel; its shows often providing many laughs and life lessons.
Everyday after school, it was almost ingrained into me the ritual to turn on the TV and grab the remote, pressing ‘32’.
When my mother cancelled the kids channels, it took me weeks to get rid of the ‘reflex’. Every time I turned to channel ‘32’ and saw the words ‘This channel is not available to you’, my heart broke a little and I would sigh inwardly.
Sure, this sounds over-dramatic to you, but as a child, I absolutely adored Nickelodeon. It never failed to bring me joy, especially when I was upset.
Now that I’m all grown-up, I guess I do miss these small things that used to cheer me up greatly and make everything okay.
Nowadays, it just seems to take a lot of ‘cheering up’ to actually cheer me up. I mean, I may appear outwardly happy, but inside’s just plenty of turmoil.
I guess that’s the price you pay for maturity and responsibility. Plenty of baggage to go along with it.
On a different note, I was horribly distracted during driving today. And my test is in 2 months. Horrible. Sigh.
