Cotton Candy
Jamika Roberts Cotton Candy
Nostalgia is defined as a sentimental longing or wishful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. My nostalgia is associated with cotton candy becsuse it draws back memories of when I was a happy child which helps with the relief of stress. Nostalgia relieves common everyday hasles, pressures, strains, and diffculties. Stress can become difficult to deal with but I believe this coping mechanisum will help. The very first time I had cotton candy was when I was eight years old. My mother, father, sister and I all went to a disney world, a place full of exciting rollercoasters, glorious gifts shops, and iconic characters in life size costumes. Like most children I felt like I landed on another planet, it was as if the world itself disappeared and walt disney built a new one. I was amused so much by all the vibrant colors and interesting sounds that it seemed to be unreal. I felt so exlierated, at that tender age of eight, I could never form my feelings into words at that age. There was so much to do with acers of endless sightings and people to meet, Cinderalla, Belle, and Snow White just to name a few. I did not have the time to wait on my family, I wanted to see everything and I could not let anyone slow me down. I had my mission, to explore as much as I could before I had to go back to my colorless dull life where picture less books and the third grade existed. Nothing could measure up to what I saw. Not even 75 cent ice cream day in the cafiteria could compare to Disney World. Without realizing it I drifted off into this wonderland and began my hunt. At first it was amazing and incredible I couldn't have ever dreamt of something so perfect and breath taking. I remember my eyes would widen when I saw a character I liked such as Mickey Mouse. I saw him from afar and turned to tell my family to look but when I did I noticed I didn't have anyone to share it with. I wasnt
