The Start of Something Little.

 Where it all began without even realizing it.

This holiday was amazing. I remember it like it was yesterday when in fact it was 15 years ago. I remember it so fresh in my mind. I remember the dark curtains in the hotel room where I slept, the children's playground that was overlooking my balcony where I would climb out and run over to all my friends, The two swimming pools - The shallow one for the babies and the big pool for the adults, The smell of the dining hall where people would be walking past in their man-united football shirts and their flip flops. The entertainment area overlooking the pool where people would be singing to Whitney Huston ''I will always love you'' until 3 am. I even remember in the lobby when my Aunt and my Cousin were dragging their suitcase to the front desk to surprise my Mum and my Uncle with their presence. It was a good fricking holiday. Such a shame that the hotel got shut down a couple of years after our holiday. It was about 1 week into our holiday where I met my first boyfriend. His name was Kieran and I can still remember his face; though it's weird thinking about a young 5-year-old boy now even though he was once my boyfriend. I wonder what he looks like now. The meeting is so vivid in my mind. I was inside where the entertainment room was for the winter with some of my friends I made on holiday. We were playing with the curtains when this little boy walked in and made my heart stop and my palms sweaty. I guessed my Mum knew even at the age of 5 I was very much interested in boys. We liked each other straight away and before we knew it; we were kissing in that same room playing husband and wife; showing off our relationship to our parents and our friends. This memory is not so vivid but I can kinda remember it. We had an argument I think over a stupid toy and I did not want to speak to him because he started being mean. After dinner and Mum getting me ready we were all outside by the entertainment area and I and my friends decided to ignore him because boys sucked and decided to play around the pool (Obvs in eye contact with our parents). Kieran decided to come over to us and started being mean again. I remember this bit very well! and he tried to push me into the adult pool while my friend was trying to pull me into the direction of our parents. I remember screaming so loud that the entertainment stopped and everybody was looking at us. At the age of 5 of course I was not a very good swimmer so if he pushed me and nobody saw I could have potentially drowned. I remember my Mum running up to him and shouting at him for doing what he tried to do and then arguing with his Mum and Dad. After that incident, we did not speak again and a couple of days later he and his family left and I never saw him again. It's a funny thing looking back to that experience because something so little could have been extremely serious if I was to have been pushed into that pool. It just goes to show that when your little your world is so colorful and you really don't realize how dangerous it is all around you because you are so naïve. #Puppyloveaged5
