Finding Memories
Recently, I was decluttering my house and going through one box I found my old school book of short stories from when I was 11-12 years old. I had also illustrated them. With story titles such as: ‘Bangs and Sam,’ ‘My Life As a Hat,’ and the ‘Magic Crayon.’ Some of them show quite an active imagination! And a few the makings of a story.
I suppose not much has changed, as I am still writing and illustrating my own stories, such as the upcoming Mr. Austen, later Kate Hawkins and a childrens’ story. But I guess the quality has improved!
How nice it is to find memories again, that one has, perhaps, forgotten about or thought was lost. It was a nice walk down memory lane.––8 May, 2017, L.P. Kirkbride

Yes, as children we do what we love naturally. When we grow up, sometimes we forget or our passions are buried by life. It's wonderful to discover lost bits from childhood.

Yes we should never lose the child within! And always follow our passions.
