Age 7

Where I Was Living Then
Still in OC, CA USA, but I’ve been moving around a lot in the area to many other apartments because of housing issues, but towards the end of this year we finally moved into a house.
My vivid memories from that age
The year before, there was a kid that was weirdly attached to me quite literally—like he would stick onto me physically. On one fateful day, I was released from this bind by a group of kids I didn’t really know. By distracting the attached kid, I made my getaway. I never saw that kid again, but the group of kids became my closest friends when I was seven, and even parts of that group persist with me even till today.
The people, places, or objects that mattered to me
There were these origami cranes I made during this time that I weirdly remember; it was when my obsession with origami started so I guess that checks out.
What I was worried about or excited about
Definitely worried about doing homework and school work by now, but I was probably really excited to hang out with my new friend group every day.
