Welcome to Bloganuary! I am participating in a writing challenge hosted by Wordpress. Each day in January, I will publish a new article based on a prompt provided by the team at Wordpress. You can join the challenge here.
What is the earliest memory you have?
I was a little confused by this prompt. I wasn’t sure if it was the most recent memory or something else, but after reading a few posts, I got the gist.
In this article, I’ll share one of my memories. I don’t remember it all that vividly, but I remember enough to put it into writing.
When I was a little boy, I broke my leg while running in the sitting room. I was using a bedsheet to cover my face while I slid. I slid so hard that I broke my femur. I went through a ton of pain, and it was dreadful.
It is hard for me to remember what happened afterwards, but I am certain I cried so much.
I don’t remember being taken to the hospital but I had a cast for a very long time and I stayed in my parents room as they helped me do everything. It must have been scary for them seeing me that way. It was reckless of me
It’s funny how a couple of years later I almost broke my ankle in a similar fashion and can’t really play any physical sport now. I’m probably too scared I’ll get injured and go through all this again.
Which of your earliest memories comes to mind ?
