Hey all this is my first post
Can someone translate this for me please? I can understand and read Afrikaans but I can't write it. If you see this after Wednesday afternoon, don't bother with translating.

Wat ek mis van my kinderdae:
Innocence: I miss the innocence of being a child, everything seemed so simple. Now everything around me seems to have double meanings, you always see the worst possible scenario in respect of certain issues. In addition, I have become rather cynical over the years – not believing anyone unless it comes from a person I trust. Ugly thoughts always pop-in to my head – being killed and my parents dying being the most prominent ones. When I was a child, I was not subject to these torturous thoughts.
A Stress Free Life: There are many worries I have now – will I do well in my exams and sport? Will I live to see another day? When I was a child, I never had to worry about these issues. I played around in the garden with the dogs or swam in the pool. I lived everyday to full and had no responsibilities.
Friends: As a child, I had more friends than I knew what to do with, they were all loyal and there were no real fights between us. Nowadays I have a few friends but no-one is loyal anymore. Also I spend much less time with friends now that used to – due to school commitments.
My Toekoms:
Start my Own Business: I have always wanted to start my own business. The prospect of working under another person is not very attractive to me. I enjoy a challenge as well as freedom and that is what starting your own business all is about.
Emigrating: I do not see a future for a white male in Suid-Afrika. The crime and the infrastructure are collapsing the economy and I need to get out before the country goes into a civil war.
