The Wonder Years

Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house, like a lot of houses. A yard like a lot of other yards. On a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back...with wonder.

This is what happened when nostalgia comes in a setting.Today, i remember a sitcom that made a huge impact in my life while growing up. The show was piloted year 1988-1993, of course i wasnt able to watch it that early years. the nickeledeon brilliantly aired it year 2002 or later than that i guess.

The story was about younger years of good memories, first love, first kiss, academic struggle, friendship put in test.country battles,where war in the 70's is supreme, odd things come up and gone and some Siblings rivalry and parenthood, however surpassing and learning from it.

And Kevin was the first little guy won my heart, I was only 16 then, and kevin  was 13 but on a process of growing up in the sitcom. The first few episodes was dedicated to the Arnolds household, second was when he met his girl Winnie and the latter part was all about heartbreaks, reconciliation and a few fights. I admit at the age of 17, i didnt have any one significant to me, while everyone the same age as mine is fighting the hormones of adoclescent, getting a date or worst making out at about 2:00 pm, its the time of the show by the way,  i was on the other hand gluing my face on screen watching it.

I thought i would die in the ending part, where the narrator tells that Kevin married and has son while winnie was still getting through her studies and business.I couldnt accept it, although i know it was coming. His father died 1975, while his brother took over the family business and kevin sister born a son.

A peculiar feeling crash through my heart, that in reality there is actually no happy-ending, just an ending. It is said that, a signifcant someone may become a stranger in the future, with no feelings of remorse, no trace of tears from the heartbreaks that you two went through, and yet in the end you realize that person became your someone in the past.
