Postcard from young me to old me

 
This is a postcard project, where I had to write a message from my five year old self to my 50 year old self, where it also had to link to a hauntology track, where there was 14 to pick from. The track I picked was Arthur, Birkby, Barbara Moore singers, Cuckoo.
 
I wanted to use this track because of how I felt it link to nature and  was the closes to a childish theme, which I wanted to work towards, with the drawing I drew an area of a park with a children's playground because in the message I wrote about freedom and as a child I saw the park as a place for me to explore and play, where I would be free for a short time, as I liked to get out a lot.
 
The idea of hauntology comes into play because as I grew older my idea of freedom changed and as a child I was always under the watch of an guardian telling me what I could or could not do.   
 
The message it's self I tried to link it as much to my five year old self as possible, where I hated school, loved running around and eating meat and banana's and where I could not wait to be older, which again looking back on that idea has now changed.
