Prologue
The repetend within my Twitterive is "Rec Center." My repetend is the place where I have revisited from my past. Going back to this place brought back many memories and made me realize that I do have a different view of it from then and now. I have several tweets that made me come to this conclusion that there is always going to be change. These tweets have shown me that the future is always going to bring changes and you can’t do anything about that. Things change physically and they also change within your own view because you are getting older.
love listening to the wind blowing the trees and leaves around #twitterive
Do you think children dont like something or someone because they can feel that their parents dont like it? #twitterive
then rec center = friends, cheering and candystand....now rec center = coaching, parents and working the stand #twitterive
totally different aspect from then and now of a place I was at basically everyday with my family #twitterive

Rec Center
Green all around me
As far as I could see
Baseball fields
Football fields
I never felt so free
Many people to meet
And places to get a treat
Playgrounds
Candystands
Both get you on your feet

A Map of Emotions
The town of Bellmawr, NJ has been the home of my family since before I was born. Both of my parents grew up there and still live there today. The house that my parents live in now is the same house that my siblings and I grew up in. We had amazing friends around the neighborhood. We would all play jailbreak, kick the can, and many other games. However, now it is completely different. Our friends moved away and there are now new people moving in all over our neighborhood. Much like our neighborhood; the rec center, which was like our second home, seems to be very different.
When we were kids we would walk up there and spend all day playing at the park. Then at night we would be there for football, baseball, and cheerleading practice. I remember looking forward to practice and game nights because we would either get our dinner or a snack from the stand. Me and my brothers and sister had no care in the world. We would go off and do whatever we wanted. We were free….well almost! My parents would give us our boundaries of where we could and could not go, but we were able to go off on our own at the rec center because it was a big family there. All the parents knew each other and all of the kids knew each other. The parents had no worries!
Today, there are still kids playing and practicing for football, baseball, and cheerleading. However, it somehow seems completely different. I now take my daughter to the rec center and in itself is a huge change. I can see things that I didn’t notice before. I was so carefree before and now I am constantly checking things out to see if they are safe or sanitary. I think this is not only because I am an adult, but also because I am now a parent. Being a parent today is a lot different from being a parent ten years ago. Unlike the past, today’s parents are worrying about if their child is going to get kidnapped instead of worrying about them falling or scrapping there knee.
